Many employers are not aware of the resources available to help them to attract, hire, accommodate and retain employees with disabilities. Also, there still remains many myths and misconceptions about hiring and integrating people with disabilities in the workplace.
EARN is made up of prominent employers and knowledgeable service providers, all focused on eliminating barriers to employment.
12th Annual Conference
We are excited to invite you to EARN’s 12th Annual Conference on November 21st, 2024, from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET, held virtually via Zoom.
This year’s conference will focus on an increasingly important topic: Cognitive Accessibility and Neurodiversity within the Workplace. This year’s conference theme highlights the essential need for employers to have the knowledge and tools to create accessible, inclusive workplaces where all employees can thrive.
Available Workshops
This four-part learning series is designed to enhance skills and build confidence in shaping accessible recruitment and job retention practices. Given that persons with disabilities are disproportionately underrepresented in the labour market, these workshops will help employers understand the key elements in order to access this untapped talent pool. Participants will also understand how to develop long term strategies towards increasing participation of persons with disabilities in the workplace. This four-part learning series can be taken as individual workshops.
