Country Music Singer Craig Campbell Champion for Americans with Disabilities

March 07, 2017

Country music singer Craig Campbell has partnered with NTI to make PSAs about job services available to Americans with Disabilities, including Disabled Veterans. Using Campbell's 2016 county music hit "Outskirts of Heaven" as a background, the message conveyed is one of hope and freedom available to those with disabilities through job placement services offered by NTI.

BOSTON, MA - National Telecommuting Institute (NTI) (http://www.nticentral.org) today announced their collaboration with popular country music singer Craig Campbell. NTI and Campbell are working together to spread the word about NTI's mission and country-wide efforts to place Americans with Disabilities, including Disabled Veterans, back into the workforce. One in every five Americans has a disability, making Campbell's message about NTI valuable to more than 60 million people across the nation.

A rising country music star, Campbell is an avid supporter of NTI's mission to help Americans with Disabilities and Disabled Veterans back into the workplace. Campbell took time out of his busy touring schedule to record several PSAs for NTI. His most recent hit "Outskirts of Heaven" (Broken Bow Records/2016) serves as the background music for the PSAs. The messages are designed to increase public awareness of NTIs job placement services. Campbell's passion for living shines clearly through his music, and now Campbell shares that passion in collaboration with NTI as he helps spread the word about NTI's ability to help disabled Americans gain freedom and independence through employment.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2015 only 17.5 percent of persons with a disability were employed compared to 65 percent of those without a disability (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/disabl.pdf). In addition, unemployment rates among Americans with disabilities were reported to be more than 5 percent higher than those without a disability. NTI and Campbell are working together to reach those people and make a positive difference in their lives. NTI was founded in 1995 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and has been helping Americans with disabilities for more than 20 years.
