currently not part of the workforce, and this training provides business
solutions for advancing an organization's workforce to include individuals
of all abilities. This presentation will share information on: what is an
adult service provider, how to foster and sustain relationships between
the business community and adult service providers, and first-hand
experiences from businesses and the individuals they employ. This
presentation will also provide an overview of universal design and how
businesses can apply universal design philosophies to build a more
inclusive workforce. Refreshments will be provided at the training.
