*ODEP Publishes #ApprenticeshipWorks Guides*

Apprenticeship is a growing strategy for connecting more workers with the
skills they need to get jobs. ODEP's efforts in apprenticeship promote
inclusive program models that fulfill employer needs by attracting a
diverse array of candidates, including people with disabilities. ODEP
released its #ApprenticeshipWorks Guides for Youth, Educators/Service
Providers, and Business which introduce each stakeholder group to the
benefits and opportunities of inclusive apprenticeship. ODEP published a
blog about apprenticeships and disability, titled “Apprenticeship and the
American Dream.” The blog examines the many advantages of apprenticeships
in today's economy for both employers and employees, including individuals
with disabilities.

*Two New Posts from the Ask JAN Blog*

The Job Accommodation Network has posted two new blogs. In a piece titled
“Breaking the Mold with Workplace Accommodations,” Brittany Lambert,
Consultant on the JAN Sensory and Cognitive/Neurological Teams, discusses
the topic of accommodating employees with mold allergies. In “Observations
from the 2017 Harkin Summit,” Lou Orslene, JAN Co-Director, reflects on his
attendance at the Harkin Summit on Global Disability Employment, held
November 2-3, 2017. The Summit brought together employers, nonprofit
organizations, foundations, and others to focus on the employment of people
with disabilities.

*JAN Releases Latest “Consultants' Corner” on Disability Awareness Training*

Through the Job Accommodation Network's “Consultants' Corner,” JAN
consultants provide advice and guidance on important issues related to
accommodations in the workplace. In the latest feature, Melanie Whetzel,
Lead Consultant on the JAN Cognitive/Neurological Team, highlights the
situations that may arise with co-workers when an employee receives an
accommodation. Since employers cannot disclose disability-related
information about an employee to others, sometimes misunderstandings can
occur when someone appears to be receiving “special” treatment. Whetzel
presents several solutions, including providing disability awareness
training to all employees and informing them of their right to
accommodations should they need them.
