Policy, Advocacy and You 2022—Implicit Bias in Disability Employment

Please join us for this online event in recognition of Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance and Inclusion Month.

This year we have partnered with RespectAbility. The program will challenge us to look at the implicit bias that organizations communicate from basic website design, employment applications, job descriptions and throughout the entire job application process. The program will highlight what a person with a disability experiences before they even consider applying to an organization and what can be done to advocate for the hiring and retention of more people with disabilities.
