Job Accommodation Network (JAN) Webcasts
http://prod.askjan.org/webcast/registration.cfm

Gather your One Stop staff together in a room for live, in-service training from the experts in job accommodation: The Job Accommodation Network. Educate yourself, management, and other employees on disability etiquette, assistive technologies, management techniques, and the latest on accommodations and the employment provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). From October 2010 to August 2011, JAN offers insightful professional development opportunities for all segments of the One Stop system.

All Webcasts begin at 2 pm Eastern (11:00AM Pacific) and are 1 hour. You must register to attend. One registration is equivalent to one login. Worried that your computer won't be able to handle the Webcast? JAN offers an overview of computer requirements needed to participate in the Webcasts.
