The Power of Work: Beyond Barriers!
This conference was primarily for job seekers and workers with disabilities, providing information on where to find good jobs, what employers are looking for, and programs and services for job searches and career development.
Immediately prior to this conference program, one of several Work Incentive Seminar Events (WISE) to occur in Maine was held. These community events are being held by the Maine Work Incentives Planning and Assistance program—a benefits counseling program of the Social Security Administration that is based at Maine Medical Center. People with disabilities who collect Social Security benefits and their families can attend a WISE seminar to learn more about work incentives. Employers, Vocational Rehabilitation, Protection and Advocacy Services, Employment Networks and other employment program representatives are being invited to attend. For information on WISE seminars being held elsewhere in Maine, contact David Dubay at (207) 662–4387 or by email at DUBAYD@mmc.org.
Featured Speaker
Denise Bissonette was the keynote speaker. Denise is an inspiring and informative speaker who spoke two years ago at the “Future of Maine’s Economy” conference about connecting all workers — and particularly workers with disabilities — with work that they are good at and that leads to satisfaction and success.
