SUMMARY:Untapped Potential: Reimagining Equity for Workers With Gaps in Employment History
DESCRIPTION:U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Chair Charlotte A. Burrows and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) Director Jenny R. Yang will host a livestream discussion on challenges workers face when reentering the workforce after periods of unemployment. \nAs employers confront changing labor market dynamics\, many are searching for strategies to recruit and hire from new and diverse talent sources. Yet\, many employers routinely decline to hire applicants with gaps in their employment history. Such practices screen out otherwise qualified applicants from underrepresented groups\, including caregivers\, older workers seeking to re-enter the workforce\, people with long-term disabilities\, and formerly incarcerated individuals. Speakers will highlight the barriers that individuals with gaps in employment history face when looking for good jobs\, the strengths these workers offer to employers\, and promising practices recruiters and hiring officials can use to attract this untapped talent. \nWHEN: April 28\, 2022\, 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. EDT \nSPEAKERS: \n\nCharlotte A. Burrows\, Chair\, EEOC\nJenny R. Yang\, Director\, OFCCP\nEve Hill\, Chair\, Board of Trustees\, Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law and Partner\, Brown\, Goldstein & Levy\nTeresa Y. Hodge\, Executive Director\, Mission: Launch\nElizabeth Gedmark\, Vice President\, A Better Balance\nHeather Tinsley-Fix\, Senior Advisor\, Financial Resilience\, AARP\nAdditional Speakers TBD\n\nREGISTER:  https://eeoc.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_hwUhHWDuSO2yLfV4NSCn5w \nRegistration is required and there is no cost. Video/Dial-in information will be sent separately upon registration. Livestream overflow will be on the EEOC’s YouTube page.

SUMMARY:Behind the Possible: Meet the Team
DESCRIPTION:This month is Autism Acceptance Month\, and the need for acceptance is greater than ever. \nOver the last year\, CAI realized a 38% increase in neurodivergent individuals placed in employment\, yet the unemployment rate world-wide for neurodivergent adults is still at 30-40%. \nWe couldn’t power the possible without our people – our neurodivergent associates. Each of their journeys demonstrates how workplace inclusion and acceptance benefits us all. \nIn this 30-minute session\, we’ll introduce you to four of our neurodivergent associates currently working with CAI Neurodiverse Solutions. You’ll hear their stories and learn more about:\n• Experiences growing up in the neurodiverse community\n• Neurodiversity’s influence on securing employment\n• The value neurodiversity brings to the workplace\n• How workplace inclusion and acceptance can change lives

SUMMARY:From Compliance to Programmatic Accessibility: Best Practices for American Job Centers
DESCRIPTION:In the 8 years since the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was passed into law\, the American economy has profoundly changed. Major structural changes among industries\, companies\, and contractors have accelerated thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and new economic policies from the Biden Administration. Throughout these tumultuous years\, American Job Centers (AJCs) / America’s Job Centers of California (AJCCs) have been crucial for the delivery of workforce services to thousands of workers. As the labor force participation rate for workers with disabilities rapidly increases to historical highs\, job seekers with disabilities need supports and services that will meet their needs and help them earn an income. However\, the working professionals at AJCs/AJCCs may not have received any formal training on disability etiquette\, accessibility\, assistive technology\, or best practices. \nThis webinar will offer a high-level overview of proven practices and lessons learned for serving jobseekers with disabilities through the workforce development system. Learn from a subject matter expert who has collected simple\, practical\, and cost-effective solutions to help advance opportunities for jobseekers with disabilities. \nThis webinar is free and will include ASL/live captioning. \nSpeaker Bio\n \nPhilip Kahn-Pauli \n\nPhilip Kahn-Pauli is the Policy and Practices Director of RespectAbility\, a nonprofit organization fighting stigmas and advancing opportunities so people with disabilities can fully participate in all aspects of the community. He educates leaders at the federal and state level about best practices to expand opportunities for people with disabilities. Kahn-Pauli coordinated the development and distribution of the People with Disabilities at Work resource guide\, the Finding a Job as a Person With a Disability in Los Angeles Toolkit\, and numerous other resources for jobseekers with disabilities as well as policymakers. He frequently organizes accessible webinars on best practices\, which are attended by workforce boards\, agencies\, VR\, disability organizations\, public officials\, artists and more – reaching a national audience of more than 2\,000. Kahn-Pauli also speaks at national and regional conferences for workforce boards\, agencies and professionals. \nKahn-Pauli serves as the co-chair of the Employment and Training Task Force of the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD). He works with more than 110 national disability organizations to impact federal policy and move the disability employment agenda forward at the national level. At the state level\, Kahn-Pauli advocates for cost effective solutions\, replicable models and school-to-work transition programs for youth with disabilities. \nKahn-Pauli’s career in disability began with several years of work at a local nonprofit focused on traumatic brain injury. He holds a master’s degree in social policy and philosophy from the George Washington University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Denver.
