Each October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), a time to celebrate the contributions, skills, and talents of people with disabilities in America’s workforce. In recognition of this year’s theme, “Celebrating Value and Talent,” you're invited to join a webinar exploring how customized employment can connect job seekers’ strengths with real business needs on Thursday, Oct. 13 at 2:00 p.m. CST.

Customized employment starts with a simple idea: understand a job seeker’s interests and strengths, identify what a business needs, and bring the two together. This webinar will highlight practical techniques for bridging the two to create customized jobs. Participants will learn how Lean strategies, which are process improvement techniques that increase efficiency and reduce waste, promote sustainable employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities and businesses. Participants will also hear directly from employers about their firsthand experiences on what worked, lessons learned, and the value customized employment has brought to their organizations.
