LEARN AT YOUR DESK!
Janet D. Fiore, The Sierra Group
Janet Fiore, CEO of the Sierra Group and founder of the OMW collaborative interviews special guest experts from across the country, and from within her very own organization in order to share information as well as hands on experiences regarding real world employment, accommodation and financial benefits in a manner that brings each topic to life for our Teleseminar attendees:
“Your teleseminar was such a great means to gain expertise from practitioners- it was much more than a policy overview, you provided facts, resources and examples”
Janet’s 20 year history working in the area of disability, accommodation and diverse hiring matters has provided her with an array of expertise, stories, friends and collaborators from grassroots organizations to nationally known federal agencies, who share our mission. We are pleased to bring you a bit of our insight, by inviting you to sign up for one or more of our 2010 Learn at Your Desk Teleseminars!
Our 2010 Learn At Your Desk seminars offer CEU’s for professionals, and will focus around our most sought after areas of interest – Compliance, Access to talent and jobs; and Incentives.
UPCOMING LEARN AT YOUR DESK TELESEMINARS:
The line between innovation and accommodation is blurring: The new role of assistive technology.
Title: Assistive Technology: Capturing the Ability and Skill within Your Organization
Date:September 16, 2010 - Thursday
Time:11:00AM – 12:15PM EDT
FREE TO JOB SEEKERS INCLUDING VETERANS!
Join us for a business discussion on how assistive technology (AT) can support and allow for creative workplace accommodations for employees with disabilities.
Teleseminar host Janet Fiore, CEO of The Sierra Group, Inc. will cover topics where you will:
- Learn the four (4) elements that support and allow for creative accommodation solutions
- Learn how assistive technology interfaces with Human Resources policy, Information Technology and the specialized needs of employees with disabilities
- Learn about current trends in accommodation solutions utilizing state-of-the-art technologies
- Better understand how you can be an essential component in the employment of individuals with disabilities through workplace accommodations
Technology is commonplace in today’s work setting, with many companies utilizing leading edge technologies to get real-time access to their systems. Indeed, many employers encourage their employees to work with a smart phone or an iPad to enhance their productivity. So why is it that disabled individuals using the same or similar technologies as “assistive technology”, have the highest rate of unemployment? Could it be that the term and workplace benefits of “assistive technology devices” is not really understood by employers?
This teleseminar is intended to highlight what the technology can do, how it fits in to a work environment and the business innovation benefits that await savvy companies when hiring an assistive technology user. The information learned can be essential to ensuring that highly skilled workers with disabilities are fully utilizing those skills and achieving their full work potential.
Janet Fiore, CEO of The Sierra Group, Inc., is a leading national authority on helping people move through the job accommodation process. Janet will facilitate the learning session with guest experts, Vickie Peirano-Thompson, Manager at United collection Bureau, Inc. (UCB) - Intelligent Solutions, Michael Fiore, BSE, MBA, Rehabilitation Engineer, and noted expert on Assistive Technology, and Beth Loy, Principal Consultant at the Job Accommodation Network.
