New online training for excluded employees

DPA has announced the addition of a new basic supervision course called "California Model Employer Initiative Training" to its online training library.

According to DPA:

"This free interactive training will help new supervisors meet 2.5 hours of the required basic
supervisory training pursuant to PML 2010-013 and Government Code Section 19995.4. Topics
covered include:

• Role of a Supervisor,

• Techniques of Supervision,

• Staffing, and

• Employment Law relating to People with Disabilities.

The training will help you recruit, interview, hire, retain, and accommodate people with disabilities.

As with all training, staff should get their supervisor's and/or training officer's approval before taking
this training. At the end of the module, the employee can print a completion certificate for the
training office to use in tracking training."
