Disability Awareness: Working with People with Disabilities

People with disabilities represent a significant and largely underutilized resource for so many businesses. This two-day workshop will give supervisors, managers, and human resources consultants the tools and tips they need to create a diverse workplace and leverage the skills and knowledge that people with disabilities have to offer.

During this course, participants will learn to: prepare to welcome people with disabilities into their workplace; interact with people with disabilities; identify and overcome barriers in the workplace; use respectful, appropriate, acceptable language in any circumstance; understand what their company can do during hiring and interviewing; and understand what job accommodation is and how it applies in their workplace.
