Attention all Business Leaders, human resource personnel and
managers:
We invite you to take part in a breakfast forum on Wednesday, August 22 at 8:00 am in the WITC Conference Center to discuss the barriers and benefits of an inclusive hiring approach that will serve to increase dialog between area businesses. In an effort for disability advocates to understand the business community needs and concerns in this regard, members from various disability advocacy organizations will also be present to listen and/or answer questions about their programs.
A growing consensus is forming that many area businesses are missing valuable opportunities to hire skilled employees. Workers with disabilities remain a largely untapped pool of qualified, steady labor across the nation and local area.
Other guests include:
Area business leaders
Wisconsin Idea Fellowship disability and business liaison Matt Pesko
Midwest Alliance in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics director Alice Anderson
Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College and University of Wisconsin-Barron County representatives
Rice Lake Workforce business liaison Jean Frenzel
Division of Vocational Rehabilitation representatives
Ventures Unlimited representatives
and others
This event is funded by:
