Triet Le, Cisco CCNA Instructor at ICD, Publishes Op-Ed in Crain's New York Business
Crain's New York Business published an op-ed titled, “Here’s How Businesses Can Open the Tech-Job Pipeline for New Yorkers with a Disability” by Triet Le, ICD's Cisco CCNA Instructor.
In his op-ed, Mr. Le shares how and why the tech sector should be more inclusive of people with disabilities. He offers many recommendations to promote inclusion within the tech sector, such as work “tryout” opportunities like paid internships and train-to-hire apprenticeships, replacing academic degree requirements with certifications and credentials, and more.
In the piece, Mr. Le says,
"Disability inclusion is in the financial interest of tech companies and the business community at large. . . companies that embrace best practices for employing and supporting more people with disabilities in their workforce have outperformed their peers."
