NYS Division of Human Rights to Hold Special Conference


Discussion Will Focus on Employment Rights for People with Disabilities 

On October 2, in observance of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, the New York State Division of Human Rights will sponsor a conference to explore one of the most pressing issues affecting people with disabilities – their efforts to find employment.

Panelists will discuss emerging trends and cases as well as the employment of persons with mental and developmental impairments.

One panel, which includes a person with disabilities, will take a look at success stories.

Potential employees will be able to identify opportunities and employers will learn how to find resources to improve hiring and retention. 

The free conference, which will be available via webcast, is being co-sponsored by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and will be held at The Strong’s National Museum of Play at One Manhattan Square Drive, Rochester, New York. The conference will take place from 9 am to 5 pm.
