Discovery Day

Nationwide, over 75% of people with disabilities are unemployed; which translates to over 120,000 workers in Georgia alone. The Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) and IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) are hosting a hands-on, information-packed, half-day executive briefing to encourage Georgia business leaders to consider diversity in their hiring practices and illustrate exactly how to tap into this reserve of dependable and highly motivated workers. The 8th Annual Making a Difference Discovery Day takes place Thursday, Oct. 30th, 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM, at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel, 4355 Ashford Dunwoody Road, Atlanta and includes business tips on tax incentives, finding qualified people for the job, new technology and best practices to make it possible for more people with disabilities to join the work force.
