Dear DHS Constituents and Stakeholders:

 

I’m delighted to share information regarding a valuable training opportunity. Accommodation Conversations, being held in October in recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, will provide important information to help individuals with disabilities connect with employers for career and business success! See details and registration information attached.  Registration opens 8/16/19. 

 

Also see the article below, which is a fairly comprehensive, encouraging USA Today piece about employment trends, including data showing that disability-inclusive companies are outperforming their less inclusive counterparts!

I hope to see many of you at the October event.

 

Sincerely,

Peri
