The world of work can be an important and meaningful way to build a good life. If you have a loved one with a disability who has employment-focused goals, then this webcast is for you! 

Join us to hear from job developers who will discuss strategies that can support people who are preparing for employment or currently searching for job opportunities.

  • Tips for preparing and navigating the job-seeking process; 
  • The role of a job developer and employment agency;
  • Strategies for selecting the right professionals to join your team;
