October 22, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am

Free
WECO’S FREE WORKSHOP IN CELEBRATION OF OCTOBER’S NATIONAL DISABILITY EMPLOYMENT AWARENESS MONTH!

About this Event

Locating, hiring and accommodating savvy professionals who live with disabilities doesn’t mean that you have to move mountains. Organizations, both small and large, can begin to be more inclusive, right now, many times, with resources that are already an part of the organization.

Whether you’re concerned about finding the right staff in a declining workforce, or you see the long-term value diversity and inclusion bring, this free workshop, sponsored by WeCo, can help you get started.

The event sponsor, WeCo Accessibility Services, is a company founded and staffed by digital technologists who live with disabilities, and named a 2020 and 2019 Leading Disability Employer by the National Organization on Disability. You’ll learn first-hand from WeCo’s Operations and Management Teams what your future employees need to feel included, and how you can succeed as a disability employer.

We’ll cover:

• How to locate and successfully reach out to candidates who also live with disabilities

• Ways to make your application and interview process accessible

• Tips on creating your own disability accommodation system (for both small and large organizations)

• Points on how to encourage disability self-identification, both in the application process and among your existing staff

Bonus Takeaway:

• WeCo’s Disability Employment “At-a-Glance” Tip Sheet for Employers
