Beyond the ADA: Disabled Voices in the Conversation about Inclusion in the Workplace
2023-02-15 10:00 - 11:00 | Zoom
The Middlesex County Office of Career Opportunity (MCOCO) has teamed up with the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development’s Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services (DVRS) to discuss a topic that is too frequently pushed to the sidelines or only spoken of in whispers: disability in the workplace.
As of 2021, disabled people make up more than 19 percent of the American labor force. This proportion is growing for a number of reasons, from cultural shifts empowering people with disabilities in the workplace to long-term consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. There are currently 61 million individuals with disabilities in the United States, and only about half of them are working. While some are unable to work and need different supports, the conversation about those who are ready, willing, and able to work, but are discriminated against or otherwise disenfranchised, is too often neglected.
To combat this marginalization, MCOCO and DVRS are working together to bring you a two-part series of free virtual workshops tackling this issue from multiple angles. The first workshop, “Beyond the ADA: Disabled Voices in the Conversation about Inclusion,” will take place Wednesday, February 15, at 10:00 am via Zoom, spotlighting the true, unfiltered experiences of people with disabilities as they have navigated education, the job search, the workplace, and beyond.
Featured speakers include:
John Killacky, a former Representative in the Vermont House of Representatives, who was previously director of Flynn Center in Burlington and Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. He is also a video artist who co-edited the Lambda-award winning anthology, “Queer Crips: Disabled Gay Men and Their Stories.”
Rachel Smith, Certified Employment Support Professional (CESP) and Employment Services Manager at Easterseals of New Jersey, supporting those with Intellectual and Development Disabilities, and bringing firsthand knowledge from the field into her trainings.
Jason Weppelman, who has over a decade of experience in helping people with disabilities, autism and/or neurodivergence find careers. He has helped both small and large companies see the value in this talent and create plans to recruit and hire. Jason, himself, has epilepsy and has recently had to learn to navigate the world with this disability.
