Employer Training
Work Together NC has developed a no-cost training and recognition program for employers interested in transforming their workforce through hiring people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
Employer Training Module
The online course will provide a brief introduction to IDD and guide you through several key topics related to IDD in the workplace, such as:
- Introduction to IDD Inclusion in the Workplace
- Language, Misconceptions, and Mindset Shifts
- Universal Design
- Tools for People with IDD in the Workplace
- Allyship in the Workplace
- Success Stories, Community Resources, and Next Steps
The course is completely self paced and should take no longer than 2 hours (or 2 lunch breaks!) to complete.
