Please join us on Tuesday, May 5th for our webinar, “Creating a Culture of Supported Employment: Tips from the experts, our employers" with Heidi Scheibner. 

Heidi Scheibner will facilitate a lively panel of employers to discuss how they successfully created a culture of supported employment within their business. They will also give Employment Consultants tips and tricks on how to best support our employers in this time of uncertainty and how to best position employment agencies as a business resource. Panelist: Mark Schaefer, (retired from 38 years of the restaurant industry: Hops N Drops, Red Robin), Gillian McGuire and Brian Collins (Microsoft), Ryan Farrow (CBRE supporting a large sports apparel company in Oregon), Elizabeth Rice (MOD Pizza)

Learning Objectives (Info, tools, and skills attendees will receive):

  • Attendees will understand & grow more empowered to build relationships with employers during this time of uncertainty.
  • Employers will share how they created a culture of supported employment within their business to support attendees with new strategies around marketing Supported Employment as a DEI (Diversity &Equity Initiative) to businesses.
  • Attendees will gain an understanding of how to strategize supporting a business from the business community, learn a shared perspective from employers and tips on how to be a business resource vs. just a job placement specialist.
