Description
The Mount Pleasant Chamber of Commerce (MPCC) is offering a program that broadens the conversation on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in the workplace to include Disability Inclusion. The goal is to educate businesses with information about how to expand their business offering to be more inclusive, thereby increasing their client base, and how to hire people with intellectual disabilities such as Autism and Down Syndrome to help address workforce challenges.. See video below that does a great job of giving the tone and purpose of the event.
This program includes coffee and lunch and features local experts, stakeholders and resources representing the Intellectually Disabled. It's only $40 for MPCC members; $50 for guests and includes lunch.
