Advancing Interagency Collaboration to Enhance Equity in Federal Programs and Policies for Native Communities with and without Disabilities

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy hosted an interagency convening, Advancing Interagency Problem Solving and Capacity-Building in Native Communities, in October 2023 to identify collaboration opportunities, policy gaps, and intersections that enhance equitable access to economic development, education, and workforce development programs in Native communities from a whole-of-government approach. This National Center on Leadership for the Employment and Economic Advancement of People with Disabilities (LEAD Center) report summarizes discussions and presentations during the event, including issue-specific findings and themes identified.
