I enjoyed reading about useful strategies for responding to employers when they are not interested in the services being offered. Clarifying what is and is not helpful to them, asking questions, directing them toward things we can help with, and highlighting the value of these services all seem like excellent techniques when engaging with employers.

One part of this learning topic that stood out to me was the importance of developing a macro-level understanding of the participants we work with. In my role, I tend to focus on each individual’s needs and what works for them. However, there is value in simultaneously considering and sharing broader demographic trends when creating relationships with employers so they have a better understanding of who we work with.
