Corporate Disability Awareness Training
Training staff on disability issues is an important tool for companies to promote positive work environments within the company and change negative attitudes towards people with disabilities in the workplace. At no cost, businesses can request staff to receive disability awareness training to explore disability misconceptions and learn best practices for interviewing, accommodating, communicating, and working with people with disabilities.
Training topics include, but are not limited to:
- Attitudes and perceptions towards persons with disabilities
- Historical perspective of society
- General studies and statistics on disabilities
- Information on Americans with Disabilities Act
- Tips on interviewing, accommodating, and communicating with employees with disabilities
- Resources to businesses
This interactive training is provided to businesses both on an individual and regional basis. For more information on the Corporate Training Program, please email ETHEL.WALKER@drs.virginia.gov or call (804) 367-1061.
