NJHSA developed a proposal to survey member agencies and other community-based organizations to identify the elements and/or design of different disability employment program models that could lend themselves to be considered as “Best Practices.” \n  \nThe Network partnered with the Corporation for a Skilled Workforce (CSW) and with RespectAbility to develop and administer the project\, which was funded by The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation and resulting dialogue in the Jobs workgroup of the National Affinity Group on Jewish Poverty. \n  \n“Community-based organizations are often at the forefront of efforts to develop and implement highly effective program models that not only support employment goals for persons with disabilities but do so in a manner that supports employment retention and advancement\,” explained the Network’s President & CEO Reuben D. Rotman.

SUMMARY:From Compliance to Program Accessibility: Best Practices for American Job Centers
DESCRIPTION:In the 8 years since the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was passed into law\, the American economy has profoundly changed. Major structural changes among industries\, companies\, and contractors have accelerated thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and new economic policies from the Biden Administration. Throughout these tumultuous years\, American Job Centers (AJCs) / America’s Job Centers of California (AJCCs) have been crucial for the delivery of workforce services to thousands of workers. As the labor force participation rate for workers with disabilities rapidly increases to historical highs\, jobseekers with disabilities need supports and services that will meet their needs and help them earn an income. However\, the working professionals at AJCs/AJCCs may not have received any formal training on disability etiquette\, accessibility\, assistive technology\, or best practices. \nThis webinar will offer a high-level overview of proven practices and lessons learned for serving jobseekers with disabilities through the workforce development system. Learn from a subject matter expert who has collected simple\, practical\, and cost-effective solutions to help advance opportunities for jobseekers with disabilities. \nhttps://www.respectability.org/2022/03/best-practices-for-american-job-centers-webinar/ \nThis webinar is free and will include ASL/live captioning.

It aims to provide strategies and ideas for being a strong advocate and ally to neurodivergent people as well as advice for those who discover that they may be neurodivergent.\n\nSpeaker: Haley Moss\, the first openly autistic lawyer\, is a neurodiversity expert and the author of four books that guide neurodivergent individuals through professional and personal challenges.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information\, please call 954-270-0055 or email JoshuasPath@jfsbroward.org.
