About This Event
The second day of Indiana Family Employment Awareness Training (FEAT) continues a two-day learning experience focused on helping young adults with disabilities and their families understand the resources and supports available for meaningful employment.
FEAT brings together families, professionals, community advocates, employees, entrepreneurs, and employment specialists to share information and build connections around employment success.
Because Day 1 and Day 2 cover different topics and resources, organizers encourage participants to attend both sessions.

Why Families May Appreciate It
Transitioning toward employment can bring questions about everything from finding the right opportunity to understanding benefits and workplace supports. Having access to information early can help young adults and their families make more informed decisions.
