Training Innovation Project (TIP) National Business Survey 2026

Did you know that nearly 1 in 4 adults in the United States has a disability, yet people with disabilities continue to be far less likely to be employed than those without disabilities. Research consistently shows that many people with disabilities want to work and contribute their skills and talents, but are often an under-utilized part of the talent pipeline.

To better support businesses and strengthen workforce participation, the Training Innovation Project (TIP) at the University of Kentucky Human Development Institute is inviting businesses to complete a brief anonymous survey about disability and employment. This input will help us better understand what information, resources, and training are most wanted and needed.

If you are a business, take a few minutes to complete the survey linked below and share it with businesses near and far! The survey will be available until June 30, 2026.
