Local Employment Networks

Local Employment Networks (LENs) are community-based programs that connect job seekers with disabilities to local employers and resources. They work to create inclusive job opportunities by fostering partnerships among businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits. LENs provide support through job coaching, resume assistance, and employer education, helping individuals with disabilities find and maintain meaningful employment. Their goal is to promote workplace diversity and remove barriers to employment, ensuring everyone has a fair chance to participate in the local economy.
