Disability Awareness Training
Attend a Disability Awareness and Inclusive Workplace Education session with Vecova.
This training will cover comprehensive topics on inclusive practices throughout the employee life cycle, including accommodations in the workplace. Signatories selecting this commitment will come prepared to apply their learnings and walk away with tangible strategies in their journey to make their workplace more inclusive.
Why this Commitment?
This commitment is designed to help your organization understand its strengths and weaknesses when it comes to disability awareness and your inclusive workplace. Through an education session, organizations can have candid conversation with disability service sector specialists who will work to dispel myths and empower organizations to be confident in their disability awareness and inclusion practices.
