E75 Program

The E75 program recognizes and celebrates employers who recruit, hire, train and retain employees who are blind or visually impaired. Nominated employers will all be celebrated at an annual event!

Persons that require a reasonable modification based on language or disability should submit a request as early as possible to ensure the State has an opportunity to address the modification. The process for requesting a reasonable modification can be found at Equal Opportunity and Reasonable Modification.
