Abilities, Opportunities and the Future of Work (AOFOW) is a podcast intended to showcase best-in-class practices on burning issues related to disabilities and employment. Each episode, we will be having conversations with employees, employers, firms, community organizations, not-for-profits and other state organizations that are doing outstanding work in integrating individuals with disabilities into the workforce and allow them to share their experiences and stories. This production is a collaboration between the Department of Supply Chain Management in the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University and Michigan Rehabilitation Services.
