Why should you attend? Sharing information and connections is what we do – it’s our way of being ‘one more way’ to connect Job Seekers with disabilities, including veterans with jobs across the country. The One More Way collaborative is drawing on more than one million sob seekers, hiring organizations and voc rehab/agency/service providers who are already connected with The Sierra Group.
Our Presenters are practitioners! One More Way Tele-seminars are presented and or facilitated by board members of The Sierra Group Foundation, industry acclaimed consultants from The Sierra Group, Inc. and our special guest experts.
Presenters for the One More Way Tele-seminars are Leaders in the areas of disability and employment in America. Because The Sierra Group participates in the nation’s most noteworthy governmental and scientific research studies, and helps to shape and champion new legislation in the area of disability and employment, the perspectives and information shared during each 60 minute tele-seminar is both relevant and timely. Combining this ‘inside knowledge’ with two decades of hands-on experience in accommodating workers with disabilities, Sierra Tele-seminar participants report that they learn facts, statistics, tested strategies, and practical tips from real world experiences of HOW the world of work can and does include people of all abilities.
