Business Engagement in Alameda County

Overview

Effective business engagement is a critical element of achieving improved opportunities for competitive integrated employment of people with disabilities. But what does effective engagement look like, and how is it achieved? Alameda County invites you to explore these critical topics with faculty from the Diversity Partners Project at Cornell University.  On Day 1, we invite employment service professionals who help people with disabilities obtain and maintain employment to join us for a discussion of effective business engagement including understanding the needs of employers, communicating with employers, and how we can support inclusion of people with disabilities in the workplace.  Breakout sessions in the afternoon will afford the opportunity to discuss these critical issues from the perspective of both disability service providers and workforce development professionals.  

Location: 

TCE's Center for Healthy Communities Oakland, 2000 Franklin St., Oakland, CA 94612

Event will begin at 9 AM and end at 3:30 PM on September 9, 2019
