Disabilities Acceptance Month

October 22, 2021

Submitted By: Disabilities Affinity Network

As we near the end of the third week of UHart's Disabilities Acceptance Month, today we focus on eRecruiting Accessibility with information from the Department of Labor.

Today, job application and on-boarding processes are increasingly conducted electronically. For employers, it is essential to ensure that all qualified applicants can get in the "virtual" door. Disabilities Acceptance Month is a great time to assess the accessibility of the technical side of our recruiting operations. To help, the Partnership on Employment & Accessible Technology (PEAT) developed TalentWorks — a free tool to help employers and HR professionals ensure their eRecruiting tools are accessible to everyone.

This UNotes series is sponsored by the UHart Disabilities Affinity Network. This Affinity Network is open to any UHart employee. For questions about the Disabilities Affinity Network please contact co-chairs Ben Ide bide@hartford.edu or Dave Stender stender@hartford.edu.
