The Business Relations team would like to invite you to participate in our upcoming events. These events are great opportunities to begin or continue your partnership with The Utah State Office of Rehabilitation. They also make great additions to Federal 503 Affirmative Action Plans.
We will be holding our next Workshop on Hiring and Retaining Individuals with Disabilities on September 11th from 9am to 2pm at DSBVI (Division of Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired). This workshop is designed to provide information on hiring and retaining individuals with disabilities. Current issues surrounding disability and employment will be discussed. Lunch will be provided with an opportunity to speak with other business representatives and professionals in the disability field. There is no fee to participate. This Spring, we ended up with a waiting list for the event, so register as soon as possible to reserve your seat. The Workshop is limited to the first 70 participants.
If you have previously participated in the workshop, we strongly encourage sending hiring managers and supervisors for this experience.
Additionally, the Work Ability Career Exploration and Job Fair will be on October 2nd. This job fair is an excellent opportunity to market your business and open positions to individuals with disabilities who are ready, willing and able to work. The career exploration component allows you to participate even if you do not have current positions available. The information fair will allow the job fair participants to gather information on how to better prepare to apply with your business in the future. As in the past, we will offer workshops that both business partners and job seekers can attend. The workshops include online applications, business partner panel, answering tough interview questions, and SSI/SSDI & working. Lunch will be provided for participating business partners and there is no fee to participate, however, space is limited to the first 45 employers.
