    LET’S LEARN TO EXPAND DE&I INITIATIVES

    With a precious talent pool that can improve business—and lives!

    People with disabilities have long been excluded from or underrepresented in the workforce. A 2018 Accenture study showed only 29% of Americans with a disability between 16 and 64 were employed, compared with 75% of those without a disability in the same age bracket.

    Many companies specifically avoid targeting active people with IDD (intellectual development disabilities) due to preconceived notions about their capabilities and assumptions that recruiting efforts will require a heavy spend and complex expertise. Not true!

    In celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, SMA-NJ is excited to host its newest partner, Best Buddies. NJ State Director, Matthew Fernandez, will introduce their incredible: 

    INTERNATIONAL INCLUSIVE WORKPLACE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

    Join us to learn how you can leverage this bench-marking tool to advance and enhance your company’s recruiting practices and walk away with tangible next steps for creating truly inclusive pathways. 

    You’ll also hear from Victoria Gemignani, D&I Talent Acquisition Consultant of Siemens Corporation, and Best Buddies employer partner, as she shares her experiences in working with Best Buddies.

    The IDD talent pool is 10 million people strong with diverse strengths, leadership styles, and ways of thinking.

    Hiring people with disabilities is good for business, the economy, and team morale.

    Let’s do this together!
