    Hey everyone! If you’ve been following us for a long time, thank you for your continued support. If you are new - welcome, we’re glad you’re here! Phila On The Job is a product of @cityofphiladelphia @dbhids Employment 1st Initiative and grounded in the belief that EVERYONE can work, regardless of disability. We created this video in collaboration with the awesome folks over @recphilly to showcase the importance of diversity in the workplace. In this video, you’ll see Philadelphians (you might recognize a few of them👀) who work for a variety of employers such as @TheGrahamCo, @Philly_Schools, @PACareerLinkPHL , @PhiladelphiaEagles 🦅💚 and more. Hear just a snippet of their stories now but keep an eye on @PhilaOntheJob for more of their stories coming soon! We have two versions of the video and wanted to provide the most accessible version of the video here but have linked both versions (with and without audio description) in our bio! Let us know how you have made your workplace more inclusive and/or how you plan to do it in the future. And by the future, we mean right now. 😊 Thanks to @dbhids, @networksfortraining, and @recphilly for their support in making this video. #PhilaOnTheJob #EmploymentFirst #Philadelphia #SupportedEmployment #Employment #Disability #DisabilityInclusion

    📣 Attn: Employment Supporters! 📣 Do you know about The Employment Forum? It's an opportunity to come together as a group and discuss various topics regarding employment in Philadelphia. The group consists of representatives from DBHIDS/School District of Philadelphia/OVR/ODP/Supports Coordination Organizations, self-advocates, employment support professionals and all who want to know about what's going on in Philadelphia around employment. The meetings are currently hosted monthly on the third Wednesday of the month. Join us this Wednesday, May 19th, for a public policy update from Julia Barol of PA APSE to learn more about a bill that was recently signed into law to eliminate subminimum wage for people with disabilities. Learn more about what other states have done and what Pennsylvania is doing to follow suit. Hope to see you there.
