Who Should Attend: Employers only!

According to the 2010 US Census, 56 million Americans have a disability and 1 in 4 South Carolinians have a disability, yet they are twice as likely to be unemployed than people without disabilities. This is despite the fact that employers consistently report a more than 80 percent positive experience with employing people with disabilities. Reports also show that 92% of the American public view companies that hire people with disabilities more favorably, and 87% prefer to give their business to companies that hire people with disabilities.

Employers, you're invited to this FREE training at SCVRD’s Bryant Center, 9-10 AM.

Breakfast will be provided by the Upstate Workforce Board's Disability Committee.

This training is approved for 1 hour of SHRM and HRCI credit.

Employers only. No service providers, please!
