FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
11/15/2004
Project: Return to Work Inc. Announces a New Job Initiative
Return To Work Inc. (R2W) is a private, nonprofit organization
headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. R2W's mission is to assist persons with
disabilities to return to work, or perhaps even start work for the first time.
R2W President and founder, Rob Brazell, says, "It is very difficult for a person
with a disability to find a job. The unemployment rate among persons with
disabilities is over 50%, but it doesn't have to be this way." R2W is initiating
a new program that combines the latest technology with skilled profess ional
counselors to connect persons with disabilities with real job opportunities.
Brazell says, "We are using new technologies to streamline the employment
process for persons with disabilities. We help our consumers cut through the
paperwork, delay and discrimination they have faced in the past and go directly
to where jobs can be found." R2W offers its consumers the opportunity to present
their qualifications to interested employers via the Internet. Consumers can
also receive assistance evaluating their interests and qualifications to make
realistic employment choices. A counselor is available to assist consumers with
the technology and to work out issues regarding placement and beginning work.
Brazell says, "Many people in our nation work at home. Unfortunately, persons
with disabilities often don't have the opportunity for this type of employment.
That is too bad, because it can be a wonderful place for a person with a dis
ability to work. Working at home can overcome many problems, especially those
that involve transportation, the need to take rest breaks, and the need for
specialized equipment. R2W has a focus on assisting persons to find work at
home."
Florida's ABLE Trust recently granted R2W funds to start a pilot site. Mr.
Brazell says, "We encourage any person with a disability who is looking for
employment to sign up for FREE services with R2W. You have nothing to lose."
It's easy to sign up. Go to the organization's web site, www.R2W.org, click on
JOBS and apply. If you don't see a job that interests you, apply under ALL OTHER
POSITIONS. R2W does the rest.
