Integrated Employment- Cultivating a Culture of Strengths

The Integrated Employment – Cultivating a Culture of Strengths 
conference will provide information critical to fostering a culture of 
asset-based employment by bringing together employers, community 
partners, families, and consumers who are blind and/or those who have 
other disabilities. The overall purpose of this conference will be for 
persons with disabilities to gain information to help them transition 
to competitive, integrated employment settings where they can work in 
positions that play to their strengths and allow them to earn a 
competitive wage. Most importantly, this conference will positively 
impact many Arizonans with IDD, some of whom currently working in 
sheltered work environments, and those who are under- or unemployed. 
Informing local companies and community members who will participate in 
our conference to gain information cultivating a culture of strengths.

This conference will highlight advancements gained by the disability 
community to provide companies with information to take an integrated 
approach to strength-based employment; inform consumers of their rights 
and responsibilities; and provide information for families, caregivers, 
and professionals central to integrated employment. The conference will 
culminate with a job fair at the end of the day, where participants 
will be exposed to companies with various employment options, as well 
as have a chance to network.
