🧩 Job Accommodation Network (JAN): Here for You!

The Job Accommodation Network is a free, confidential resource that helps make workplaces more accessible and inclusive for everyone. For over 40 years, JAN has guided employers, employees, and job seekers on workplace accommodations and disability employment issues, helping people find practical solutions that work.

At Freedom Resource Center, we often encourage people to connect with JAN when they’re unsure where to start with accommodations or ADA questions. It’s a trusted resource that empowers people to succeed at work while helping employers build stronger, more inclusive teams.
