We know that when we expand inclusive practices in the arts, we are stronger for it.

Join us for a Lunch & Learn session with Job Path, a pioneering organization that supports furthering employment opportunities for people with autism and other developmental disabilities. In this session, Job Path will explore: 

• Inclusive hiring strategies and actionable tools for implementing this practice
• What the Customized Employment model is and how it works in practice
• How this approach can support your accessibility goals and staffing needs as we work towards a stronger, more inclusive theatre sector! 

This Offering is geared towards organizational leaders, hiring managers, HR personnel, and anyone interested in building more inclusive teams.
