Happy Hour Employment Mixer
Join The Arc – Jefferson, Clear Creek & Gilpin Counties and The Arc Arapahoe & Douglas Counties on Wednesday, March 9th from 4 – 6pm at Brewability for a new kind of Employment Mixer!
This mixer is designed to bring together employers with potential employees who have an Intellectual and/or Developmental Disability (IDD). The goal is to give job seekers a chance to make connections and employers a chance to find new talent that is good for business. We’re also hoping to debunk some stereotypes about people with IDD.
We will be providing a non-formal (no resumes needed), non-job fair (no employer booths), casual happy hour with delicious pizza and drinks (provided by First Bank and Pasco) made by the capable, inclusive staff of Brewability, a model for inclusive employment for people with IDD. There will be a short welcome presentation, followed by eating, drinking, schmoozing, and breakout sessions. We’ll also provide research data proving that hiring people with IDD improves productivity, profitability and morale.
Who should come:
• Employers who are considering inclusive hiring to bring proven benefits to their company or organization. They will have the opportunity to meet and talk with employees and job seekers of all abilities. There will be opportunities to speak with employers already benefiting from inclusive hiring, and who can share their success stories.
• Employees with IDD who would like to share their experiences with employers who may not yet employ staff with IDD.
• Job seekers with IDD who would like to meet potential employers and explore local resources for job seekers.
