The Role of American Job Centers (AJCs) in Promoting Access to Good Jobs for All

People with disabilities play a crucial role in strengthening America’s economy. To support this year’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) theme, Access to Good Jobs for All, we recognize the role of the American Job Center (AJC) Network. Under the vision of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), AJCs and their partners provide access and opportunities to all job seekers, including individuals with barriers to employment that is inclusive of individuals with disabilities, to prepare for, obtain, retain, and advance in high-quality jobs. This webinar will spotlight four AJCs located in communities within the states of New York and Colorado. Panel presenters will provide insights on the services the AJCs provide, share a roadmap for accessing AJC services, discuss the critical role of partnerships in service delivery, and highlight the creative integration of universal design principles to ensure meaningful access to all customers using AJC services.
