Employment for Person’s With Disabilities

PA CareerLink ® Beaver County Promoting Employment for Person’s with Disabilities 

PA CareerLink® Beaver County welcomes employers and community based organizations to take part in our first Promoting Employment for Person’s with Disabilities” event in recognition of National Disabilities Awareness Month.  The economy and the job market are in flux, challenging employers to control costs, maintain a highly productive workforce, and keep productive employees. With the economic downturn, businesses are being more creative in ways to save money.  This year’s theme “Profit by Investing in Workers with Disabilities,” promotes the valuable contributions people with disabilities make to America’s workplaces and economy.  This will allow for local employers and agencies to familiarize themselves with incentives and benefits that can contribute to their success.   

The event will be held on November 14th, 2011 at the PA CareerLink® Beaver County office, Beaver Valley Mall, (down the Sears Corridor) from 9:00am to 1:00pm.  Highlighting the program will be our keynote speaker, Joyce Bender, CEO and founder of Bender Consulting Services, Inc.  Among Ms. Bender’s many accomplishments and awards are the 2007 Achieva Sattler Humanitarian Award, 2008 Greater Pittsburgh YMCA Tribute to Women Awardee, Diamond Awardee from Pittsburgh Business Times for her leadership style, relationship with employees, and contributing to the community. Breakfast and lunch will be served. The day will also be comprised of a Meet & Greet Breakfast, Panel Discussion/Q&A, Lunch and Tour of PA CareerLink facility.

We welcome you to register for the event at no cost to you.  If you would like to attend, please RSVP to diastoner@pa.gov or 724-728-4860 Ext: 215 by November 9th.  We hope you can join us as we share a wealth of resources with our community.  Please contact Dianne Stoner at 724-728-4860 ext: 202 (TTY 724-775-1199) with any questions you may have.  This event is sponsored/produced with funds from the CMS Medicaid Infrastructure Grant (CFDA #93.768).
