In 2019 MBBC (Mass. Bay Brewing Company) had a great event night launching the Hop Forward Career Fair and we are excited you are interested in learning more through this toolkit.

In this toolkit, you will learn more about the planning and execution of the Hop Forward Career Fair. We hope you take this template and launch a career fair event in your area, to focus on the importance of diversity within our industry.
In this Toolkit we will be giving you tips on how to strengthen, enrich and diversify your workplace by hiring candidates with disabilities, including LGBT candidates with disabilities. You can read and use the Toolkit in its entirety or you can refer to sections as you need them. We have also included additional information following the Toolkit which reviews the basics of laws that apply to hiring people with disabilities, including those who are also LGBT with disabilities.
People don’t always say what’s on their minds. One reason is that they are unwilling. For example, someone might report smoking a pack of cigarettes per day because they are embarrassed to admit that they smoke two. Another reason is that they are unable. A smoker might truly believe that she smokes a pack a day, or might not keep track at all. The difference between being unwilling and unable is the difference between purposely hiding something from someone and unknowingly hiding something from yourself.
