Vocationally Speaking

Epowerment is a positive consequence of holding a job so it makes that this is our focus. I just completed designing a booklet "Welcoming Employers with Disabilities into the Workplace" and it is ready to be distributed. The next step is to offer simple meetings and/or a formal power point at staff trainings. The issues covered are: employment myths, strategies for hiring, interviewing, accommodating, financial incentives, and improving job skills for veterans. This is the way we can establish employer relationships then discuss job development for veterans. We can also offer employers the opportunity to work with individuals through the "Veterans Serving the Community Program" which is TRR approved. If employers are already involved with veterans, they will be read to contact us once job openings arise at their company. This would be a good precursor to permanent employment. I would really like feedback from YOU since it's the only way this will work.
