Disability ranges widely between individuals and can include anything from physical disabilities to mental health disabilities, including ADHD. Prior to placement, a job coach will typically learn the skills and training required for the position and ensure that the skills match the capabilities of a potential employee. New strategies for hiring individuals with disabilities include &#8220;job carving,&#8221; where tasks appropriate for the disabled worker are carved out of an existing job, freeing the existing employee to spend more time on tasks requiring higher skill. Additionally, companies can work with the Disability Employment Specialists with the Minnesota Department of Employment &amp; Economic Development (DEED).<\/p><ul><li>To learn more about <strong>MRCI&#8217;s Workforce Solutions<\/strong>, head to:\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mymrci.org\/employers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>EMPLOYERS | MRCI (<em>mymrci.org<\/em>)<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li>To learn more about <strong>EON<\/strong>, contact them via:\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/theeon.com\/employment-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Employment Services (<em>theeon.com<\/em>)<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li>To learn more about <strong>DEED&#8217;s<\/strong> resources for hiring individuals with disabilities, head to:\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/mn.gov\/deed\/business\/finding-workers\/hiring-disabilities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Hiring People with Disabilities \/ Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development <em>(mn.gov)<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2054\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2054\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Staffing Agencies<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2054\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2054\"><p>Most regional staffing agencies provide direct hire recruitment, temporary-to-hire recruitment, and temporary recruitment services.
