As we ease into the fall and the return to school and work for many families, our system continues to adjust our services to meet the needs of our customers. Just like many schools, we continue to provide services remotely or by appointment as in-person access is limited in many locations. Training programs are being adjusted to this “new normal” and remote learning is becoming a more accepted way of receiving education and training. WorkforceGPS will continue to share best practices on new ways of delivering services and technical assistance to the system as you navigate our “new normal”. This month, we will highlight several examples under Recent Events and Featured Resources.
Improving Employment Opportunities for Individuals with Disabilities
The National Disability Employment Awareness Month celebrates the contributions of workers with disabilities while continuing to educate employers and other organizations on approaches to increase access and employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The links to community resources in Workforce System Strategies below highlight the benefits of return-to-work and disability program navigator initiatives, and describe approaches for inclusive employment practices.
