Event Description:
The MaxAbility Taskforce invites you to join us for an informative and relevant training on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and employment. Cindy Held Tarshish, Program Manager of ADA Minnesota, will keep you up to date and educated on the ADA and its requirements and increase your talent pool with people with disabilities.
Ask yourself the following questions to determine if you need to get educated on ADA:
- Which employers are covered by title I of the ADA?
- What practices and activities are covered by the employment nondiscrimination requirements?
- Who is protected from employment discrimination?
- Does an employer have to give preference to an applicant with a disability over other applicants?
- What limitations does the ADA impose on medical examinations and inquiries about disability?
- When can an employer ask an applicant to self-identify as having a disability?
- What are reasonable accommodations?
- When is an employer required to make a reasonable accommodation?
The MaxAbility Taskforce is charged with maximizing career success for people with employment barriers and to develop opportunities for businesses to meet their hiring
needs. MaxAbility does this through its Southern Minnesota Disability Employment Network. The network connects businesses, service organizations, and individuals with
disabilities to improve employment conditions and reduce barriers to employment for those with disabilities.
