Get Started
The graphic depicts the logo for the "Disability Inclusion Blueprint" with the tagline "From Recruitment to Retention." The logo design includes a half-circle shape in the top left, composed of two segments: one in brown and the other in light blue, symbolizing diversity and integration. Below the half-circle is a geometric design in blue with straight lines forming rectangular shapes, possibly representing a structure or foundation. The typography of the text is clean and modern, with the main title "DISABILITY INCLUSION BLUEPRINT" displayed prominently on the right, and the tagline "FROM RECRUITMENT TO RETENTION" beneath the graphic in uppercase, black lettering

On March 11, our in-house Disability Inclusion Specialists will hold Blueprint Office Hours to directly answer any questions you may have about the survey, its questions, or the platform itself.
