What is a 30-Second Training? • A 30-Second Training is a quick, educational Power Point Slide show (PPS) that is electronically sent out via listserv or used to augment a more formal presentation or training. • Trainings can be completed in a very short amount of time hence, 30-Second Trainings. • These trainings increase knowledge and awareness around disability and employment topics – in this case “Access Issues”. • A link on the last slide provides a more in-depth resource for those who are interested in furthering their knowledge and expertise on the topic.
The 10 One-Stop Access Series Questions • “Disability” – What does it mean in the context of the One-Stop? • What does “Universal Accessibility” mean for people with disabilities in the One-Stop? • What physical barriersmightpeople with disabilities experience accessing the One-Stop? • What programmatic barriers might people with disabilities face at the One-Stop? • What communication barriers might people with disabilities face at the One-Stop? • Whose job is it to serve people with disabilities in the One-Stop? • What should you focus on when serving or working with a One-Stop Customer who has a disability? • How should you refer to a customer with a disability when talking to a colleague? • What is the best way to define “job readiness” for individuals (with & without disability) accessing the One-Stop and its partners? • Where can you find a self-paced web-course for One-Stop staff interested in discovering best practices for working with customers who have disabilities?
It’s time for a 30-Second Training • Raise your hand - by clicking on the “hand” icon on the right hand toolbar - to choose and take one of the 30-Second Trainings. • Remember: • Even the wrong answers tend to include helpful information, and they are worth checking out. • This isn’t a “test” – these are meant to be fun and informative.
Strategies for Utilizing 30-Second Trainings • As Stand-Alone Trainings via staff & partner listservs • We recommend sending them out on Friday. • As an attachment to training event and presentation invitations and notifications • This can give a taste/teaser for information that will be covered in the presentation/training. • As an ice-breaker for training events & presentations • As fun “breaks” throughout trainings/presentations • As follow-up to trainings/presentations to reinforce information
