As we observe National Disability Employment Awareness Month throughout October, you are invited to join the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, and members of Federal Community Engagement Cross-Agency Workgroup, for a two-part webinar series on Understanding Community Engagement and its role in expanding Competitive Integrated Employment.

Part One: The Role of Non-Work Activities in Developing Critical Skills for Competitive, Integrated Employment

Join leaders, direct support professionals, and people supported as they discuss the invaluable role non-work activities play in Community Engagement and building critical life and social skills needed to ultimately find success in employment.

Part One Webinar Objectives:

  • Understand the definition of “Community Engagement” and how it differs from other forms of non-work activities.
  • Learn why Community Engagement programs are a crucial aspect of Employment First and Competitive Integrated Employment.
  • Discuss how non-work activities build necessary, interpersonal, communication, and professional skills that lead to successful employment outcomes.
  • Receive the latest research on the importance of Community Engagement.

The webinar will be facilitated by:
