Art on Display at the Convention Center!
The Opus College of Business at the University of St. Thomas has invited Midwest Special Services, Inc. to participate in The 24th Annual Multicultural Forum on Workplace Diversity to be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center- March 20-22, 2012. This national convention has become the nation’s largest diversity and inclusion conference reaching more than 1200 individuals from 35 states and more than 400 companies.
Our primary role at this exceptional event is to showcase Midwest Special Services innovative Creative Arts Program. In partnership with Lifeworks, Inc. we have been selected to provide a variety of art, which reflects both diversity and innovation in the workplace.
In addition to exhibiting our Creative Arts Program, we also hope to introduce our Employment Program to the businesses, employees and students who will be in attendance at the event and hope that this level of exposure will help us procure even my work opportunities for our agency.
