Are you interested in learning more about all the stages of the employment journey and the steps you can take to lead you on a path to success? We are offering a series of workshops that cover many topics related to finding a job, keeping a job, and thriving in the workplace.
Join us Wednesday, August 27 from 10 a.m. to Noon to learn about the pros and cons of disclosing, as well as how to ask for accommodations.
Specifically, you will:
- Learn about disability disclosure on the job
- Gain tips on how to request a reasonable acccommodation
- Explore other information related to how to effectively self-advocate in the workplace
The workshop combines classroom instruction and time to practice what you’ve learned with support from the facilitators, if needed. Attendees to these workshops must be able to participate independently.
