Become Your Own Advocate With Upcoming Career Workshops

Apr 18, 2023 |

Although we are more than halfway through LLLDAM, there is still so much to learn as we unpack just some of the ways you can get involved in advocacy! If you were unable to make the live webinar on the Power of Personal Narrative, we invite you to watch the full recording and take notes as you strategically prepare your personal story.

The third webinar in our series will focus on Breaking Into Workforce Development as program manager Trenaya Reid unveils the all-new job board on the program’s webpage. Learn how the Workforce Development and Vocational Rehabilitation programs can help support you as you navigate your career path with a limb loss. We would love to see you tomorrow; register below to get started!
