ABCs of Disability Planning

A Bridge to Inclusion. Zavikon w/ Rebecca Beam


Listen Later

Zavikon serves any individual who is seeking career employment who has a visible or invisible disability. They have programs set up for Blind/visually impaired, Deaf/hard of hearing, and neurodivergent to name a few. They focus on the individual’s talents and skills and place employees in all types of careers including finance, technology, clerical, creative, and more.   

Once an individual is placed, their professional career coaches work with the employee, their new co-workers, and the hiring manager to ensure everyone is set up for long-term success.

Rebecca Beam and I talk about the chronic unemployment/underemployment of those with disabilities. Zavikon isn't focusing on a specific diagnosis. Instead, they are working on educating employers about how reasonable accommodations may be implemented to benefit everyone. Rebecca uses her own story as an example - being a single mom who needed "accommodations" to take time off for her children. Very often accommodations are low-cost and easy to implement.  As "headhunters", Zavikon will not charge a job-seeker to work with them. They are paid by the employers when they place a job-seeker in an open position. If someone would like additional training to be ready for work, Zavikon will charge Medicaid.
