BroadFutures, Inc.

During last week's Friday training, our DC intern cohort heard from BroadFutures Board Member, Christine Fruehwirth, who shared valuable advice on how to thoughtfully prepare for the interview process, and how to artfully message your experience in an interview. Thank you, Christine, for joining us last week to prepare our interns for their future careers! #BroadFutures #Interview #InterviewPrep #Neurodiversity #CareerReadiness

Today marks a significant milestone in the United States' journey towards inclusivity and accessibility! 34 years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was ratified, paving the way for equal rights and opportunities for all. Today, we celebrate the progress made and recommit ourselves to creating a more inclusive world where every person, regardless of ability, can thrive. #ADA #Disability #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityInclusion #Accessibility

Happy National Intern Day! Today, we celebrate the hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm of interns everywhere! Whether you're gaining new skills, making meaningful connections, or just starting out on your career journey, your contributions are invaluable to the workplace. We are honored to support and provide internship opportunties to young neurodivergent people who have limitless potential for success, and offer so much to our workplaces. Let's recognize and appreciate all the interns who bring fresh perspectives, new skill sets, and energy to our teams. 🙌 #NationalInternDay #CareerBuilding #Neurodiversity #BroadFutures #WorkplaceInclusion #FutureLeaders

We are thrilled to be partnering with The Arc of the United States for the first time this summer!

In line with our Gala theme this year, Voices for Change, and in celebration of Disability Pride Month, we invited BroadFutures’ alumnus, Cole Beaty, and BroadFutures Board Member and National Employer Partner, Sam Flood, to share more about their participation with our programs and the importance of disability pride and inclusion. Cole participated in our DC Internship program during the Summer of 2021 and Winter of 2022, where he interned with Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and The Brookings Institution. Cole now works as a Research Assistant at The Global Situation Room, Inc. Sam Flood is a BroadFutures Board Member and the Executive Producer and President of Production at NBC Sports. NBC Sports, a longtime employer partner, began as a local DC partner and is now part of our national employer partner cohort, working with BroadFutures interns at their Connecticut and Florida offices.

So proud of our incredible employer partner Booz Allen Hamilton for their recognition by Disability:IN for a decade running as a best place to work for #disability.

BroadFutures has been at the Disability:IN Conference this week and it has been a wonderful event so far with impactful programming and inspiring presentations from leaders in the disability space. We were also thrilled to see that some of our employer partners have made Disability:IN's newly released 2024 list of best places to work for disability inclusion! Shout out to our partners: American Institutes for Research, Booz Allen Hamilton, CBRE, and Merck! Our work would not be possible without the collaboration and support from our employer partners. #DisabilityIN #BroadFutures #DisabilityInclusion #Inclusion #Accessibility #Neurodiversity #Employment https://lnkd.in/dCvFc7xm
