Employers across industries are facing persistent talent shortages and increasing competition for skilled workers. At the same time, millions of talented individuals with disabilities remain an underutilized source of workforce talent.
In recognition of
Disability Employment Awareness Month, this virtual event will explore how employers can strengthen their talent pipelines by intentionally recruiting, hiring, and training individuals with disabilities through apprenticeships and other early talent pathways. Designed for employers, training providers, workforce development professionals, educators, and community partners, this session will highlight practical strategies for creating more inclusive talent development programs that benefit both businesses and job seekers.
Participants will learn how disability-inclusive hiring practices can:
- Help organizations expand their talent pool
