\n<\/h2>\n

Detroit, Jan. 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DETROIT, Jan. 29, 2021 \u2013 <\/strong>Today, DTE announced that it will accelerate its commitment to support and empower people with disabilities in the workforce by joining The Valuable 500<\/a>, a coalition of the world’s largest companies dedicated to promoting disability inclusion through business leadership and opportunity.<\/p>\n

“At DTE, we understand that all people thrive and succeed when they feel included, welcome and safe,\u201d said\u00a0Jerry Norcia<\/b>,\u00a0president and CEO, DTE Energy. \u201cWe’re proud and excited to join with others to form The Valuable 500<\/a> as we continue to drive inclusion and empower\u00a0people living with disabilities with support and opportunities in our company and our communities.”<\/p>\n

As part of its pledge to The Valuable 500, DTE will expand its partnership with Project Search<\/a>, a \u00a0program dedicated to helping youth and young adults with disabilities gain meaningful skills and employment as they transition out of public schools, across Michigan. The company will strengthen its support of its Abilities in Motion (AIM) employee resource group, be a voice and champion for people with disabilities and continue to explore and challenge systemic barriers to employment. The DTE Energy Foundation<\/a> will continue to seek opportunities to provide financial support to the Autism Alliance of Michigan (AAoM)<\/a> and other disability employment related non-profit organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that people with disabilities face bias, unique barriers to social and economic opportunities, and are disproportionately unemployed,\u201d said David Meador, vice chairman and chief administrative officer at DTE. “To build an inclusive and diverse workforce \u2013 one of DTE\u2019s top priorities \u2013 we have to ensure the fair and equal treatment of all people. By joining The Valuable 500, we\u2019ll accelerate our work to recruit, employ and empower people with disabilities and encourage more Michigan businesses to do the same.\u201d
<\/b><\/p>\n

More than 1.85 billion people across the world face some form of disability, while only 4% of companies are focused on making measurable efforts to include people with disabilities in their workplace, according to the Global Economics Disability Report<\/a>. Further, more than 80% of disabilities are acquired between the ages of 18 and 64 \u2013 the workforce age. <\/p>\n

\u201cDTE\u2019s decision to be a leader in Michigan and join The Valuable 500 is a significant step toward creating real change and more meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities in our state,\u201d said Colleen Allen, CEO of AAoA. \u201cWith so many people in the disability community not participating in the workforce, we are hopeful that more Michigan companies will come forward and sign the pledge.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
