Employment Expo Program
We hope you were able to join us on Thursday, October 23, 2014 for the 2014 Ability Axis Employment, in the expanded facilities at the Victoria Inn, 1808 Wellington Avenue, Winnipeg, MB. Embracing our theme of celebrating and advancing the participation of people with disabilities in Manitoba’s workforce, we were pleased to feature a full day of engaging activities and events.
Best Practices Breakfast
The EXPO kicked off with a lively Best Practices Breakfast. It included a full-course breakfast, lively networking opportunity, and captivating keynote address by Richard Pimentel. Everyone was welcome to attend, but this event is primarily intended to celebrate and encourage Manitoba employers.
Exhibit Hall
The Exhibit Hall featured an exciting array of exhibit booths. Dozens of exhibitors showcased their products, services and job/career opportunities. Companies were there to share information on jobs and career paths in their workforces and industry. Government programs explained how they support job seekers and/or employers to make successful employment outcomes. Community organizations were able to show they can assist employers in the hiring and retention of folks with disabilities. There was an abundance of information and resources for job seekers, employers, and the community at large.
