It can be difficult to apply for jobs when you are also struggling with a disability. Come and learn about the resources available to you and about what rights you have as an applicant! This information is also useful for those currently employed.
LaShawn James, Employment Specialist of the Louisiana Rehab Services, will provide information about the services that her department provides to applicants and job seekers with disabilities.
Vicki Crochet, an employment law expert, will provide information about the American Disability Act and the rights afforded to those who have disabilities.
