Learn how educational institutions are bridging the hiring gap for new graduates with disabilities by educating HR professionals online about common barriers to access. Rachel Kerrigan will join PEAT to discuss how Perkins School for the Blind and Harvard Extension School have partnered to provide a free online course titled “Introduction to Inclusive Talent Acquisition (link is external)” for hiring managers and recruiters. The curriculum includes PEAT’s own TalentWorks tool, which provides key resources to help employers make their eRecruiting technologies accessible.
She manages the Perkins-Business Partnership, an alliance with Massachusetts’ employers committed to breaking down barriers to employment and expanding opportunities for individuals who are blind and visually impaired.
