This program will provide employers, and especially federal contractors, the opportunity to hear from providers who serve as linkages to talent with disabilities. Attendees will learn how to source candidates and develop partnerships with linkage organizations to increase the percentage of individuals in their workforce.
The OFCCP’s Notice for Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) to Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act will most likely require federal contractors and subcontractors to form linkages with provider organizations and other entities to ensure a robust pipeline of talent with disabilities. Are you ready to begin developing these linkages? In order to be successful, the linkages must become partnerships and relationships must develop in order for employers to reply upon providers for success. The presenters will represent government vocational rehabilitation business services, EARN, veterans and others who will share their service offerings.

Peggy Mastroianni, Legal Counsel at EEOC will share updates on the ADA Amendments Act and court cases involving disability discrimination. The proposed rule change for Section 503 will be discussed.
New regulations on the horizon will affect many employers specifically federal contractors and sub contractors. Open dialog with government leaders from the Office of Disability Employment Policy, Veterans Employment and Training Service, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is critical to understanding, preparation and successful inclusion and retention of talent with disabilities in the workforce. Hear from these distinguished speakers as they share the guiding principles that led to many of these current and proposed changes. Attendees will learn what steps they need to start taking now to comply with VEVRA, changes to Section 503 Regulations and the ADA Amendments Act as well as hear the successes attained by the Office of Disability Employment Policy in regards to employer partnerships.
