Welcome Listeners! Join Lisa Toth as we venture through The Hidden Workforce, a show about the positive impact people who live with different abilities bring to the workforce and our world.

This week on The Hidden Workforce we are highlighting ready workers as well as those who help prepare our friends and loved ones who live with different abilities for the workforce!

First, Lisa takes us out in the field with a special group of interviews at Covenant Living at Inverness! Our ready workers are on top of their work every day and accomplish so much to create a beautiful and safe space for their residents!

Then we hear part 2 of our series over the next couple weeks with Renee Sansom Briscoe and Jody Harlan with the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services- they share with us and highlight a summer program through OKDRS’s Transition Services called BEST STEP! In this part, we’ll hear all about the benefits an employer gets to experience when they hire differently-abled employees through the BEST STEP program, how it’s important to provide inclusive employment and how it can benefit our economy, and more! You don’t want to miss this episode!

Tune in this weekend! You won’t want to miss this fun and unique episode!
