This #NDEAM, we’re highlighting how access to college can help pave the way to meaningful employment for people with intellectual disability 🎓 ➡️ 💼 .

Postsecondary education opens doors to career opportunities, increased earnings, and greater financial independence. Our publication, "From Learning to Earning: The Impact of Postsecondary Education on Employment for Individuals with Intellectual Disability" shares research demonstrating the value of investing in inclusive college opportunities.

📊 The findings speak for themselves:
- 74% of graduates who completed a federally funded TPSID program were engaged in paid employment one year after graduation.
- People with intellectual disability who participated in postsecondary education with vocational rehabilitation support were 2x more likely to be employed.
- These individuals also earned 51% more than those without postsecondary education.

This National Disability Employment Awareness Month, let’s recognize the value and talent of workers with disabilities and continue to expand access to the educational opportunities that support their career goals. Share this post to highlight these incredible outcomes and the impact college can have for students' employment, and explore the publication and the research behind it today at the link in our bio.
