DETAILS

First impressions matter—especially in hiring. Job descriptions and online recruiting portals serve as the first introduction to your organization, shaping how potential candidates perceive their ability to contribute as an employee. Are your job postings welcoming and accessible to a diverse talent pool? In this interactive workshop, facilitated by accessABILITY, participants will take a closer look at their job descriptions and explore practical ways to make them more inclusive. Together, we’ll identify potential barriers in language, structure, and expectations that may unintentionally exclude qualified candidates. This workshop will provide: Tips to utilize when reviewing your job descriptions for inclusivity and accessibility. Strategies to refine responsibilities and qualifications for a broader, more diverse applicant pool. Hands-on exercises to update and improve a job or volunteer position description in real time. This session is designed for anyone involved in hiring, recruitment, or workforce development—not just HR professionals. We recognize that every member of an organization plays a role in shaping its hiring culture. PLEASE BRING A PROFESSIONAL OR VOLUNTEER JOB DESCRIPTION FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION. By the end of the session, you will have a revised version that fosters a more inclusive and accessible recruitment process. This workshop is an opportunity to gain practical insights, refine your approach, and contribute to a more equitable hiring experience within your organization. We look forward to learning alongside you as we explore ways to make job opportunities more available to all. If you need any accommodations to fully participate in this workshop, please reach out to HCLA at engagement@hcla.net. This program is made possible through the InvestAbility partnership with Invest Hamilton County and HCLA. This partnership focuses on engaging employers in our work with students and adults with different abilities.
