This highly informative module examines current disability statistics, ADA definitions, and the value proposition for employing individuals with disabilities. Together, participants collaborate and document the positive impact including individuals with disabilities in your specific organization’s recruitment and workforce development strategies has on your staff, customers, and suppliers/community. Through the use of mini-lecture, a small group interactive exercise and videos, participants will be able to:

• challenge a personal misconception that surrounds persons with disabilities and employment
• define disability and identify at least 3 benefits to including persons with disabilities in the workplace
• share at least 1 disability statistic and 1 promising practice of leading employers

EVALUATION COMMENTS

“I liked the content (versatile and comprehensive, yet not too much); the presentation style; and the additional information to read up on.”

“The videos showed during the training really brought home the points being discussed. The statement that we need to look at people for what they CAN do and not what they can’t do.”

“Seeing how many people with disabilities would really prefer to be working and how it helps them with their self-worth. Also that so many people with disabilities may have talents that you are not aware of.”

“As a parent of a child with disabilities, I am proud to work for a company that is promoting this information and embracing this topic.”

“You are a resource that has curated excellent content to help us. Thank you!!”
