-According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 24.5% of people with disabilities participate in the labor force, versus 68.1% of people without disabilities. In West Oakland, an economically disadvantaged community, residents with disabilities face these national disparities compounded by local barriers to transportation, training access, and employer networks. This project removes the transportation barrier entirely through remote delivery, pairs technical training with the professional coaching employers actually require, and connects graduates to real hiring pipelines. CTP's 50-year record proves that with the right support, people with disabilities enter and thrive in the workforce. This grant extends that proven model to West Oakland residents who need it most.+According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 24.5% of people with disabilities participate in the labor force, versus 68.1% of people without disabilities. In West Oakland, an economically disadvantaged and historically Black community, residents with disabilities face these national disparities compounded by local barriers to transportation, training access, and employer networks. For residents who are both disabled and people of color, these barriers stack, with racial inequities in hiring and economic opportunity layering on top of disability exclusion. This project removes the transportation barrier entirely through remote delivery, pairs technical training with the professional coaching employers actually require, and connects graduates to real hiring pipelines. CTP's 50-year record proves that with the right support, people with disabilities enter and thrive in the workforce.
