Diversity in the Workplace - luisac - 03-15-2016
The College of Continuing Education and Community Service (CCECS) at the University of Hawai’i at Hilo will conduct a diversity in the workplace workshop in Hilo to be held on Saturday, April 9 from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on campus in UCB 331. The cost is $50.
Diversity in the Workplace: Hiring People With Disabilities Who Fit Your Needs is a course taught by Jeani Navarro, who has worked with youth and adults with a variety of disabilities and has 20 years of experience in Career Development and Training. The workshop will cover how to hire a diverse, productive and dependable workforce.
You will learn how to ask questions about skills and abilities rather than focusing on the disability; how to create a positive interview atmosphere; understand reasonable accommodation; target tax credits and other benefits when hiring a person with a diagnosis of a disability, and much more.
Private and non-government employers/businesses may qualify for a 50% tuition
waiver through the state’s Employment & Training Fund (ETF). For details, please visit
