Join us for a special webinar in honor of the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), with a focus on how technology is shaping the future of accessibility. The ADA affirms a simple but powerful principle: Individuals with disabilities who want to work should be able to work. In today’s fast-paced technology-driven world, there have been advancements made with tools to increase accessibility. At the same time, there are basic assistive technology (AT) tools that continue to be overlooked as a solution. The webinar panel from the Assistive Technology Act Technical Assistance and Training Center (AT3 Center) will focus on increasing access to and acquisition of AT tools across the lifespan. The panel will share examples of how AT is that critical bridge to helping break down barriers and provide innovative approaches for one to be more independent within the workplace and the broader community

Sometimes it can be difficult to know how much to support your children into work. You might get some push back from them, but if you can demonstrate that you are helping them to become more independent by having some money coming in for the things they would like to buy, or so that they can one-day live independently, they might be more receptive. This session will give you tips to help you as a parent to support your child in identifying their strengths, help them understand how to self-advocate for their needs and what kind of jobs they can start applying for straight away.
Career coaching is evolving rapidly in a more competitive, weirder, and less personal job search landscape. Meanwhile, we help clients navigate the modern job market with all its technical tasks, networking challenges, and stress. In Part 1, we explored ways to use the modern resume as the foundation for every step in the job search process – from targeting jobs to networking.
This workshop dives into the real coaching dilemmas that can keep you up at night: the client who can’t see their own value or doesn’t want to seem fake, who is losing track of targeted resumes, or who struggles with consistently describing themselves for networking and with social finesse. How do you work with, instead of against, resume ATS (Applicant Tracking Software)? Drawing from your submitted questions and tough scenarios, this interactive session gives proven answers and opens up collaborative brainstorming. Come ready to collaborate, problem-solve, and leave with time-tested strategies. This is where theory meets the messy, beautiful reality of coaching real people through career transitions. Advanced registration is required.
