AMC Theatres’ Pilot Employment Program
Saturday, July 10, 2010: 1:30 PM-2:45 PM
Reunion F (Hyatt Regency Dallas)
AMC Theatres’ F.O.C.U.S. (Furthering Opportunities, Cultivating Untapped Strengths) Program is a pilot program that provides equal opportunities to employment for individuals with autism. Presenters will discuss how the program began, how to engage essential local partners, where they’ve been, where they’re going, and what they’ve learned along the way. With the Autism Society, this pilot will move AMC Theatres from an employer who focuses hiring practices on ADA compliance to an employer who provides real access to meaningful employment for all people with disabilities.
