Disability:IN Wisconsin’s Inaugural Career Fair: Empowering Opportunities for All

At Disability:IN Wisconsin, we’re passionate about creating opportunities for individuals with disabilities to thrive in the workplace. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our inaugural Career Fair, set to take place on May 15, 2024 at ManpowerGroup World Headquarters in Milwaukee. This event promises to be a game-changer for both job seekers and employers, offering a unique blend of educational sessions, networking opportunities, and innovative formats to connect talent with opportunity.

Educational Sessions: Empowering Job Seekers and Employers

For job seekers, our Career Fair isn’t just about finding a job—it’s about gaining the skills and knowledge to excel in their careers. That’s why we’ve curated a series of educational sessions designed to empower job seekers with the tools they need to succeed. From resume writing and interview preparation to networking strategies and self-advocacy skills, our sessions will provide invaluable insights and practical tips to help job seekers navigate the job market with confidence.

But our commitment to education doesn’t end there. We’re also offering educational sessions for employers, providing them with the knowledge and resources to create inclusive workplaces where all employees can thrive. From building talent pipelines to implementing effective accommodation strategies, our sessions will equip employers with the tools they need to foster diversity and inclusion within their organizations.

The Reverse Career Fair: Putting Job Seekers in the Spotlight

One of the highlights of our Career Fair is the Reverse Career Fair—an innovative twist on the traditional format that puts job seekers front and center. In this unique format, job seekers with disabilities will have the opportunity to showcase their skills, talents, and achievements to prospective employers in a dynamic and interactive setting. By flipping the script and allowing job seekers to take the lead, the Reverse Career Fair empowers individuals with disabilities to challenge stereotypes and demonstrate their value as valuable contributors to the workforce.

Traditional Career Fair: Connecting Talent with Opportunity

Of course, no Career Fair would be complete without the traditional career fair format, where job seekers and employers come together to connect, network, and explore job opportunities. Whether you’re a job seeker looking to land your dream job or an employer seeking to diversify your workforce, our Career Fair offers a platform for meaningful connections and opportunities for growth.
