Description
"When it comes to hiring candidates with disabilities, it can be confusing to navigate disability law and apply it so that one's hiring practices not only meet legal requirements, but also give candidates every opportunity to demonstrate their unique skills and abilities. Employers can learn strategies to bring candidates with disabilities into their organization, which will ultimately add value to the company. The presenters will share information on providing reasonable accommodations, avoiding common interview and hiring pitfalls, and provide real scenarios to better illustrate how to apply disability law. Helpful tools and resources will be shared with participants in this engaging and interactive session.
