What do we know? Employer Engagement Lessons from the Diversity Partners Project

This session shares information gathered by the Diversity Partners team that became the basis for web-based Frontline and Leadership Toolboxes. individuals participating in the webinar will learn:

• What the literature tells us about effective employer engagement, and where evidence may be lacking.
• The results of more than 30 interviews about employer relationships, from professionals in community-based disability agencies, vocational rehabilitation, and workforce development in four states.

Employer perspectives on effective employer engagement; gleaned from in-person convening, surveys, and employers who served in an ongoing advisory capacity to the project.
