About the LEAD Center

The National Center on Leadership for the Employment and Economic Advancement of People with Disabilities (LEAD Center) helps states, workforce development professionals, and American Job Centers implement the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to advance employment success for Americans with disabilities, while helping employers hire and retain skilled workers. The LEAD Center increases career pathways and economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities, matches employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy, and improves disability data reporting by WIOA programs.

The LEAD Center is led by National Disability Institute and is fully funded by the Office of Disability Employment Policy, U.S. Department of Labor, Grant number: OD-38977-22-75-4-11.
