Disability Employment Consulting That Builds Stronger Pathways
People with disabilities bring talent, experience and problem-solving ability to the workforce, yet many continue to face barriers to employment and advancement.
David D’Arcangelo helps employers, public agencies and organizations improve the policies, practices and workplace conditions that shape disability employment outcomes.
National Industries for the Blind’s mission and network provides additional context on employment for people who are blind, and this disability employment thought-leadership presentation shows David speaking about the importance of employment for people with disabilities.
Turn inclusion goals into workforce action
Disability employment takes more than a statement of support. It needs recruitment that reaches qualified candidates, hiring that removes unnecessary barriers and workplaces where people can grow.
David works with leaders to find where the barriers are and set practical priorities, shaped around the organization and the outcomes it wants.
Areas of support
Recruitment and hiring.
Review outreach, job descriptions, application processes, interviews and decision-making practices.
Retention and advancement.
Identify workplace conditions that support long-term participation, development and leadership opportunities.
Policy and practice review.
Examine how employment policies, procedures and communications affect workers with disabilities.
Employer training.
Build understanding among executives, managers, human resources teams and employees.
Workforce strategy.
Connect disability employment goals with broader organizational, operational and talent priorities.
Employment supports independence and participation
Meaningful employment provides income, but its impact reaches further. Work can support independence, connection, purpose and fuller participation in community life.
David’s work focuses on expanding access to opportunity and helping organizations recognize the ability, talent and potential of people who have too often been overlooked in the labor market.
Guidance informed by policy and practice
David combines lived disability experience with leadership in government, workforce policy and nonprofit governance, so he sees employment systems from both sides.
