The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) announced that it will fund the National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability for Youth (NCWD/Youth) at the level of $1 Million for another year. This year marks the 10th year of ODEP's support for NCWD/Youth.
"Focusing on transition-age youth is an important part of addressing the under-representation of people with disabilities in the labor force," said Kathleen Martinez, Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Office of Disability Employment Policy. "Many youth with disabilities still don't have access to age-appropriate experiences, especially when it comes to work. We are working to change this at ODEP."Read the press release at http://www.dol.gov/opa/media/press/odep/ODEP20101165.htm
