Many disabled individuals have been discouraged along the way.
Perhaps the expectations of having access to training and experience has gotten in their way of employment opportunities.
Registered Apprenticeships can be structured from the ground up. Creating an opportunity for missing skills to be learned and a more financially viable future.

Each day of the week highlights different areas, and Wednesday is all about Expanding Youth Apprenticeship Opportunities for Underserved Populations, including persons with disabilities.
Here are a few Tips to ensure that Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) are inclusive for all:
🔹 Review recruitment, screening, and enrollment policies that may pose as barriers to points of entry.
🔹 Provide accessibility accommodations.
🔹 Provide comprehensive training and support tailored to diverse needs.
🔹 Partner with agencies and community organizations for disability awareness education and recruitment strategies.
The Texas Workforce Commission is eager to support businesses interested in launching a Registered Apprenticeship. Our Vocational Rehabilitation Division Business Relations Team is also on hand to offer guidance on inclusive practices and provide support to apprentices with disabilities.
