>> Does your business actively recruit candidates with disabilities?
>> 
>> If not, you are missing a competitive edge! Nearly 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, but fewer than 20 percent of adults with disabilities are in the workforce. Disability hiring is one of the last untapped resources in the labor market and comes with major benefits to your business.
>> 
>> Join NW Works, Inc. on October 17, 2022 for a day-long conference at Shenandoah University to learn the benefits of hiring adults with disabilities, plus all the support your business can get in the process.
>> 
>> Glean knowledge from our keynote speaker, renowned business owner and disability rights activist Mark Wafer. During his 25 years in business, Mark employed over 200 workers with disabilities across 14 restaurants in all areas of operations, including management.
>> 
>> Attend sessions covering a range of topics, including understanding reasonable accommodations as an employer, how disability tax credits can benefit your business, vocational rehabilitation supports for your company, the shifting landscape of substance use disorder and mental illness as disabilities, and more.
>> 
>> Enjoy a catered lunch during a panel discussion moderated by NW Works CEO Debera Taylor, featuring local employers who are already successfully investing in employees with disabilities.
>> 
>> Tickets are just $25 per attendee. Click here to register.
