Presented by DSC and Community Choices, LEAP (Leaders in Employing All People) is a free, one-hour presentation for business leadership, hiring managers, and anyone else interested in learning about inclusive employment and the disability community. The training is split into three sections:
General education, including disability rights history, definitions, and etiquette;
Economic benefits for companies who employ individuals with disabilities; and
Free employment services that DSC and Community Choices specialists provide, such as site consultation, working with the business to identify and meet their needs, and help with accommodations
The one-hour window includes time for questions at the end and discussion throughout. Attending companies will be promoted on the social media channels of both organizations following the session, and ongoing support is offered to employers looking to create a more inclusive workplace.
