Assistance with Hiring and Retention of Employees with Disabilities
Select from the most qualified job candidates who meet your business needs, and enhance employee retention and productivity through:
- Job and career fairs
- Candidate screening, matching and referrals
- Training programs to prepare job candidates for employment with your business
Once a candidate is hired, we provide follow-up support to ensure that the new employee has the accommodations and support needed to be productive and retain employment. This may include assistive technology evaluations, worksite evaluations, workplace accommodations, and on-the-job training, among other services.
Federal Requirements & Financial Incentives Assistance
The federal government offers a range of incentives and programs designed to encourage employers to hire and retain workers with disabilities. These include tax credits, such as the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), as well as grants and other financial incentives.
We can help you identify which incentives and programs may be applicable to your business, and provide guidance on how to access them. Our team is experienced in working with federal agencies such as the Department of Labor, the Social Security Administration, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, and can assist you with navigating the requirements and paperwork associated with these programs.
In addition, our vocational rehabilitation services can help you create a more inclusive workplace that meets federal guidelines and regulations, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). By partnering with SETWorks, you can ensure that your workplace is not only safe and productive, but also compliant with federal requirements.
Contact us today to learn more about how we can assist you with federal regulations and work incentives, as well as our vocational rehabilitation services.
