A unique learning experience . . .

For over 20 years, Job Accommodation Network (JAN) consultants have provided focused, trusted, and informed answers to these and other questions. JAN's annual symposium offers a unique opportunity for human resource managers, supervisors, and other management professionals to attend workshops presented by JAN consultants, share information with your peers, and gain valuable guidance and resources that can be shared with others in your company or organization. JAN has also invited featured speakers who have expertise in employment law, innovative employment practices, and disability issues. Check this Web site regularly as these invited guests are announced!

Set your course to meet your needs . . .

This year, the JAN Symposium will offer three concurrent training tracks addressing accommodation issues, innovative employment practices, and ADA/legal issues.

• The Accommodation Track will address techniques for hiring, retaining, accommodating, and promoting people with disabilities. The sessions will provide solutions to tough accommodation situations and address motor, sensory, and cognitive/psychiatric impairments.
  
  
• The Innovative Employment Practices Track will offer effective techniques for managing employees with disabilities, responding to accommodation requests, working through the accommodation process, and implementing accommodations in business cultures. Sessions will provide tools for training new supervisors, managing personality differences, implementing accountability, and addressing recent disability management trends.
  
  
• The ADA/Legal Track will offer sessions that concentrate on current and pending ADA and Rehabilitation Act issues. Each session is designed for participants who wish to learn more about the obligation to provide reasonable accommodation and resources available to assist them. Trainers will also discuss the interaction of the ADA with other disability legislation such as the Family and Medical Leave Act.

Sessions will be highly interactive and include question and answer segments. In addition, JAN consultants will be available throughout the symposium to address your specific questions. Check the agenda for additional information.

The symposium will be held at the Orlando World Gate Resort in Orlando, FL. All conference facilities are accessible.
