Rockville, VA - December 7, 2007--
Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), with a proven track record of putting IT to work in practical and bottom line ways for over 48-years, and TecAccess have formed a strategic partnership to train disabled veterans in the technology sector. As a result, our nation´s heroes who have served the cause of freedom in war and in peace, at home and abroad, will receive the opportunity to utilize a unique telecommuting model that will allow them to train for professional careers in civilian life from the comforts of their home, office, or hospital bed.
TecAccess, an award-winning accessibility and workforce solutions company, has developed a one of a kind program, known as DVET, for training disabled veterans returning from the Global War on Terror (GWOT). The DVET program uses assistive technology, such as screen readers and voice activated controls, to help train disabled veterans to work in high level positions at CSC. With approximately 87,000 employees in 92 countries worldwide, CSC has embraced this opportunity to train and hire a talented, yet untapped, workforce that is made up of high skilled and motivated individuals.
"Despite newly acquired disabilities, disabled veterans represent a pool of potential employees who have already demonstrated their willingness to persevere under difficult circumstances and are therefore well prepared to excel in the workplace," explains Dennis Stone, Senior Vice President, Veteran´s Programs for TecAccess.
Research has shown that veterans with disabilities are more loyal and productive employees, and they highly value their jobs and the opportunity they have been given to make a difference. What forward thinking employers, such as CSC, gain in return is access to unique skill sets and qualifications often not found in the civilian population.
The outcome of the DVET training program ultimately benefits both the disabled veteran and the hiring organization by empowering disabled veterans to leverage their unique and newly marketable qualifications. Organizations who hire newly trained veterans are finding that disabled veterans are loyal employees and are self-motivated, intelligent, and capable of making a lasting impact in the private arena.
