As the 2008-2009 academic year draws to a close, nearly every graduating student has one thing on his or her mind, the real world and what the future holds.

We’re sure you already know that GettingHired.com is the largest national employment and networking portal connecting job seekers with disabilities, employers committed to hiring job seekers with disabilities, agencies providing services to the disabled community, colleges and universities, and disability advocacy groups. Our mission is to create sustainable employment growth and opportunities for people with disabilities.

Our Employer partners are committed to hiring the most qualified candidates, regardless of disability, to meet their critical human resource needs. These Employers pay an annual subscription fee to join the community and to post all their open positions. We are currently listing more than 10,000 positions across the country.

More than 19,000 people with disabilities have already registered with GettingHired.com, at no cost, and are using our site to prepare for seeking employment and to search for jobs that match their education, interests and qualifications.
