Employer Resources


The OBLN is committed to supporting Oregon businesses to experience success in recruiting and employing people with disabilities.

In November 2005, the OBLN released its White Paper on Employer Supports - the position paper explores the factors that influence a company’s ability to effectively employ people with disabilities and the type of supports that should be available to them from Vocational Rehabilitation and other sources. See Employer Supports.
