Our Ability is an online portal for people with disabilities to better understand their own skills, and to find jobs that match those skills from employers who are committed to hiring equity.
- Candidates create a profile to showcase their employment skills and are shown open jobs that fit their profile.
- Companies search for qualified candidates and post jobs by subscribing to Our Ability Jobs.
- Our Ability Connect is a professional network for people with disabilities, specifically created to connect employers with the disability business community.
Our Ability partners with businesses to provide customized, innovative inclusivity, and disability expertise for recruitment, culture, disclosure, and compliance. Our Ability Alliance is the parent organization for Disability: IN New York, which collaborates with employers on increasing employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
If you need assistance with creating a profile, identifying your skills, or using the interface, please feel free to schedule an appointment with Career Services on Handshake. For information on how to schedule an appointment view our schedule an appointment PDF.
