Finding or Creating Jobs We LoveNovember 2, 2011 |
| After a fantastic learning opportunity in September, we wanted to follow up with another one! If you couldn't be with us in September, you should still plan to attend this one if you're interested in thinking about employment. If you were with us in September, this will work well as a way to continue the learning and conversation, it won't be a repeat of things you heard in September.
Here are the details:
When: Wednesday, November 2, 2011, 6pm-8:30pm
Where: Arboretum Cohousing, Common Room, 1137 Erin St. Madison
Who: Parents, individuals with disabilities, and other community members who are interested in talking about employment
Food: We'll be ordering sandwiches. If you would like a sandwich, let us know if you want ham, turkey or veggie, and bring $5. You are welcome to bring your own food as well.
RSVP: Please let us know if you plan to attend by October 26 by emailingprimm@waisman.wisc.edu
What: We've invited Doug Hunt, from Dane County Human Services, again to lead a discussion about employment issues in Dane County and what we might do together to work on them. Doug works with all of the vocational providers in Dane County and is familiar with the challenges of job development and finding competitve employment.
His discussion will focus on two questions:
1. What's getting in the way of good job development? Of finding jobs we love?
2. What could a group of families do together to overcome these challenges?
Margaret Bau, a Cooperative Development expert, will be there to talk to us about cooperatives and enterprises. Margaret works for USDA Rural Development as a Cooperative Specialist. She has worked all over Wisconsin helping all different kinds of cooperatives, including a support worker co-op in Wautoma WI. Margaret will lead a discussion that will help us think about how cooperatives might be used by individuals with disabilities to create jobs they love.
