On-Demand Webinar: Return to Work Assistive Technology for Skilled Trades and Agricultural Workers

• Live Webinar Date: 06/18/2025

Agricultural and skilled trades workers are a critical part of the population and there is a labor scarcity of them. There is a shortage of such workers in the USA as the baby boomer generation moves into retirement. It is important for agricultural and skilled trade workers to return to work after an injury or illness because of their unique abilities. Assistive technology professionals should be prepared to evaluate job tasks and recommend tools, equipment, and methods to enable them to complete their occupational duties.
