NTAC-AAPIs Hire.Us Program
What is the Hire.Us program? Fast, Effective, and Free! The National Technical Assistance Center’s HIRE.US program (Hire Interested and Ready Employees in the U.S.) is a time-saving personnel resource. HIRE.US offers college students, and recent graduates, with disabilities the opportunity to market their skills and abilities to employers across the United States free of charge. Your student profile information will be available to governments and businesses across America. Employers nationwide identify both temporary and permanent employees from qualified college students with disabilities in a wide variety of fields. http://www.hireus.cds.hawaii.edu

Become an NTAC-AAPI mentor today!  
Despite passage of numerous laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), people with disabilities continue to be unemployed and under-employed at staggering rates.  Mentoring is one concrete way to promote the employment of people with disabilities and develop lasting relationships in your community.  By bringing employers and people with disabilities together, we can help break down employers’ fears about hiring people with disabilities and increase the confidence of persons with disabilities to secure gainful employment. http://www.ntac.hawaii.edu

Multicultural Competence Online Course in Development Stage

NTAC-AAPI is in the developmental stage of creating a credit online course about Multicultural Competence in Working with AAPIs with disabilities.  It is planned to be a web-based, graduate-level distance-learning course offered through the Center on Disability Studies at the University of Hawaii. It will be open to interested VR counselors, community rehabilitation providers, and educators who have completed a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent.  We would like to assess the demand for this type of course offering.  If you or members of your organization might be interested in enrolling in this prospective course, please email Christine Su at christine.su@cds.hawaii.edu, with an enrollment estimate.  If you would like additional information on the course as it progresses, please include your full name and contact information as well. Thank you!

Social Security Disability Benefit Issues Affecting Transition-Aged Youth - April 13, 2005, 3:00 - 5:00 p.m.Eastern Time

This telecast will focus on what school personnel, disability professionals, Benefits Specialists, and parents need to know about Social Security disability benefits for transition-aged youth and will provide specific instruction for using Social Security work incentives to promote employment, facilitate career planning, and enhance earnings capacity during and after secondary education. Presenters will offer strategies for preparing for and handling critical transitions within the Social Security benefits systems, with particular emphasis on issues surrounding the 18th birthday. Failure to consider Social Security benefits issues during transition planning is not just a missed opportunity. Harm can be caused when students and family members are not educated about nor prepared for the effect of earnings on cash benefits and medical insurance.
