Building an Inclusive Workforce at HydraFlex

Join us in learning about the initiative to strengthen disability inclusion at HydraFlex through Customized Employment. This event will showcase the partnership between Inclusive Networking and HydraFlex through the Inclusive Employers Grant Program funded by Minnesota Department of Human Services. Customized Employment means individualizing the employment relationship between employees and employers in ways that meet the needs of both. HydraFlex underwent in depth training on disability inclusion and customized employment and is in the process of customizing 5 new job opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Multiple perspectives of the key players that championed this journey will be shared, including a few of the self-advocates working in their new customized positions. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during a Q&A and the event will conclude with networking.

*ASL Interpreter will be provided. If additional accommodation is needed, please note on the registration form or reach out to paige@inclusivenetworking.com
