One Stop Site Visits

We want to thank all of the San Francisco One Stop managers for being so friendly and helpful when we visited sites this last week. We're almost done with all of our facility site visits, and we'll be submitting recommendations for universal accessibility soon. If you have any other concerns, resources, or adaptive equipment that you would like to include at your site, please contact pregan@cve.org

LEGACY Training (part 2)

Patrick and Lauren attended the L101 LEGACY Training on April 7th in sunny Southern California. Thanks to the hospitality of Sue Quigley, who invited us to attend, and Les Roberson, who graciously hosted the training at the South Los Angeles WorkSource center, we were able to participate in Lisa Jordon's interactive and interesting training session. One of the highlights of the session was working with team members to help a hypothetical person with disability in their job search. We learned about the barriers to employment for persons with disabilities as well as proper disability etiquette. All of this knowledge was reinforced in a fun Jeopardy-like lightning round!
