Welcome Employers

When you identify new or under-employed populations, you’ll find an amazing amalgam of talented and dedicated individuals ready and able to work. People with disabilities are an untapped employment resource.  That’s why the HIRE Committee has developed this resource web site to assist local Employers.  Resources, Myths & Facts, local Job Fair opportunities and events are available to support your efforts.

Attendees enjoy networking with employers at Harvey L. Hall's HIRE Committee Luncheon

Check back with us often.  We’re constantly updating to provide you with the most up-to-date local resources and information for employers.  If you have an idea or a suggestion, please let us know.

An Open Letter to Local Employers

Mayor Harvey L. Hall Ours is a diverse community of people and expanding opportunities for commerce. It is through recognizing the potential within our diverse community that we can continue to grow the economic strength of Bakersfield. But even in our community, there is an untapped resource, people with disabilities.


I invite you to join me and other like-minded employers to learn more about this untapped resource and the talents they bring to their jobs. Please join me in celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month by engaging the talent of people with disabilities in our community. Because in Bakersfield, Talent Knows No Limits.
