Hiring Talent, Meeting Workforce Needs: Disability Employment Basics for Small Businesses

Description

Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy—and many are seeking effective ways to attract and retain top talent. One powerful solution is to hire people with disabilities. By tapping into the more than 22 million working-age, often highly skilled Americans with disabilities, small businesses can strengthen their teams and serve their communities more effectively.

Join the Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability (EARN) for a free, informative webinar designed specifically for small business owners and hiring managers.

This session will:

  • Introduce the essentials and benefits of disability employment
  • Clarify employer responsibilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other relevant disability employment laws
  • Highlight practical tools and resources to support hiring practices

The webinar will also feature a live Q&A session, during which you can ask questions of experts in the disability employment field.

Real-time captioning and ASL interpretation will be provided. Please request any additional accommodations via the registration form below.
