North Texas Launches Initiative to Boost Inclusive Employment
What happened
A new initiative, the North Texas Inclusive Employment Collaborative, has been established to increase workforce participation among people with disabilities in North Texas. The collaboration partners the North Texas Disability Chamber with My Possibilities, a continuing education and job placement program based in Plano. The initiative aims to encourage companies to adjust hiring practices and company culture to provide more employment opportunities.

Why it matters
The initiative addresses the fact that, in 2025, the unemployment rate for people with a disability was double the rate for people without a disability. The collaboration seeks to overcome barriers, such as companies not knowing how to implement disability-inclusive hiring practices.
