Disability Awareness: Working with People with Disabilities
DOWNLOAD A FREE SAMPLE
People with disabilities represent a significant and largely underutilized resource for so many businesses. This two-day workshop will give supervisors, managers, and human resources consultants the tools and tips they need to create a diverse workplace and leverage the skills and knowledge that people with disabilities have to offer.
During this course, participants will learn to: prepare to welcome people with disabilities into their workplace; interact with people with disabilities; identify and overcome barriers in the workplace; use respectful, appropriate, acceptable language in any circumstance; understand what their company can do during hiring and interviewing; and understand what job accommodation is and how it applies in their workplace.
Velsoft’s customizable training materials make it easy for trainers to edit courseware content to match their training needs. SoftSkills training materials include a detailed instructor guide, student workbook, pre-assignment, assessments, and more. The print on-demand feature makes it convenient for trainers to print what they need, when they need it. This saves on paper and ink costs.
