Every disabled person should be able to develop his or her skills, knowledge and work opportunities and fully participate and contribute to society.
This free seminar is intended to broaden understanding of how to overcome barriers to progression into work experience and employment and to raise awareness for making apprenticeships, traineeships and supported internships more accessible for people living with a range of impairments and health conditions.
We will explore ways to address changes in practice and culture with providers, educators and employers and discuss how to support disabled people to pursue their goals, ambitions and aspirations for work. We aim to promote peer support and share information and good practice with all stakeholders.
This seminar will be relevant to colleges, skills providers, employers, disability organisations and family/carer organisations and disabled people interested in doing apprenticeships, supported internships and traineeships.
Speakers include representatives from DWP/Access to Work, Remploy, Disability Rights UK, MicrolinkPC and Action on Disability.
