Employers across the country are actively seeking dependable talent. At the same time, many qualified Americans with developmental disabilities remain an underutilized workforce. This session will explore how to shift from a service-based mindset to a solution-based approach—helping employment professionals build stronger employer partnerships by addressing real business needs, overcoming common objections, and positioning competitive integrated employment as a workforce solution rather than a charitable act.
Webinar objectives:
1. Reframe employer engagement by shifting focus from employment services to solutions to workforce and staffing challenges.
2. Develop effective employer communication strategies through preparation, active listening, and value-based messaging.
3. Build stronger business partnerships by addressing employer concerns and aligning job seekers’ strengths with workforce needs.
