What is LEAP?
LEAP is a disability awareness training for Champaign County employers. LEAP training was designed with hiring managers, HR officers, and owners in mind and focuses on the employer benefits of disability-inclusive employment. In addition, Frontline Staff Training has been created for frontline staff and shift supervisors and focuses more on how to be a supportive teammate for an employee or customer with disabilities.
These free, one-hour programs are presented by DSC and Community Choices and is grant funded through the Champaign County Developmental Disabilities Board. To learn more or to schedule a training, contact Annette Becherer at abecherer@dsc-illinois.org or (217) 356-9176.
