ALTON - This National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Challenge Unlimited is calling for employers to hire people with disabilities. Stephanie Schrage, marketing manager with Challenge Unlimited, noted that there are 749,000 people in Illinois who have disabilities between the ages of 18–64, and only 49% of this population is employed. She said this “untapped workforce” wants to work, and Challenge Unlimited has programs to help make this happen. “We want to raise awareness around the fact that these individuals are ready to work, willing to work,” Schrage said. “Through Challenge Unlimited in particular, we offer training programs and job coaching.” National Disability Employment Awareness Month has been an annual recognition since 1988. This year’s theme is “Access to Good Jobs for All.” As more people are diagnosed with neurodivergent conditions, the number of people with disabilities in the U.S. is increasing.
