A New Day: We’re Listening
On February 16 in San Francisco, California, ODEP and its Federal partners will continue with the fourth in a series of six disability employment Listening Sessions. Each Listening Session is an opportunity for members of the public to provide input to senior Federal officials on their ideas for more effective ways to employ all people with disabilities, including women, Veterans and minorities with disabilities and what is currently working in their regions to increase employment of people with disabilities.

Individuals & Consumers: youth and adults with disabilities, parents and caregivers
Employers: public and private
Service Providers & Advocacy Organizations (such as Employment Services and Partners): Independent Living Centers, One-Stops, State Vocational Rehabilitation Programs
The dates for the remaining Listening Sessions are:
