The Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians Toronto Chapter, funded by the Government of Canada’s Community Services Recovery Fund, invites you to participate in a free, important two-part training session for business and organization leaders. In these training sessions, we are taking a closer look into the implications that COVID-19 had on businesses and organizations that hire and employ people with disabilities and on making employees and employers aware of their attitudes, behaviours, and their impact on themselves and others, and to provide creative solutions on how to make a more equitable and diverse workplace.
What are the benefits for employers and hiring managers to take these training sessions?
Sensitivity training is group training that focuses on making individuals aware of their attitudes and behaviours and their impact on themselves and others.
Accessible interactive training that will teach and support you to enhance your reputation, increase revenue, and gain that competitive edge.
