“True accessibility and inclusivity requires that people with disabilities have pathways to opportunities and the tools to progress in their careers. The Council has made the nearly one million New Yorkers with disabilities a priority, especially related to improved access to employment and workforce development. This critical investment and new Center for Workplace Accessibility and Inclusion will support these efforts to help even more New Yorkers access opportunity and contribute to our city. We look forward to seeing the impacts of this critical investment, and we will continue to advance equitable economic opportunities for all.”
