About this workshop:
This workshop is geared for families with children/youth aged 5-15 (youth not yet job searching).
We will discuss:
- Having high expectations – why does it matter?
- How responsibilities/chores at home and extra-curricular activities can build skills and attitudes for future work
- Myth-busting (Yes – many youth with disabilities work! Employers value diverse workforces)
- Programs and services that promote participation
