DHRM Windmills Training: Employment Disability Inclusion Training in Support of the Alternative Hiring Process
In April, the Alternative Hiring Process (AHP) was launched as part of a comprehensive strategy to increase the employment of individuals with disabilities within state government. The next step in this strategy includes education and awareness opportunities. DARS and DHRM are collaborating to offer Windmills training for the HR Community.
Windmills is a disability awareness training that uses participation and discovery as learning vehicles to understand the culture of disability in the workplace by:
- helping to change attitudinal barriers & creating new perspectives on the unique abilities of individuals.
- increasing awareness of the role that attitudes play in the employment of people with disabilities.
- encouraging the employment and advancement of persons with disabilities.
Attend these 3 short virtual training sessions to learn how you can better understand the culture of disability in the workplace. Each session will be on Wednesdays from 10:30 - 12:00 pm.
July 13: Profiles/Taking the Emotion out of Emotional Disabilities
