At The Arc of Nebraska, we believe in a world where everyone can feel valued. We envision a Nebraska where people with disabilities are given the same opportunities to thrive in the workplace as everyone else. With this pledge, we invite businesses and institutions across our state to join us in fostering a more accessible, supportive, and barrier-free employment landscape for people with disabilities.

We Pledge To:

  1. Promote Inclusive Hiring: Advocate for and implement inclusive hiring practices within our organizations. We commit to making disability employment a fundamental part of our workforce strategy.

  2. Eliminate Barriers to Employment: Continuously identify and work to remove barriers that prevent individuals with disabilities from entering or thriving in the workplace. This includes providing necessary accommodations, investing in training, and challenging misconceptions about disability employment.

  3. Engage in Ongoing Learning and Improvement: Regularly review and update our policies and practices to ensure they are inclusive and effective. We commit to learning from our experiences and making necessary improvements.

  4. Collaborate for Impact: Actively engage with other businesses, organizations, and state entities to share best practices, success stories, and collectively advocate for public policies that promote disability employment.


By signing this pledge, we commit to:

  • Making disability employment a priority in our organization.
  • Actively supporting individuals with disabilities by offering opportunities to showcase strengths and talent.
  • Connect with us to schedule a disability employment training. An annual training opportunity for supervisors and staff to understand how we can create an accessible workplace for employees and customers.
