Description

Join Inclusion Scotland for an engaging session exploring our inclusive employment programme, designed to break down barriers and create meaningful opportunities for disabled people. This workshop will highlight three key strands of our work:

1. Inclusive Employment: We will share how our approach supports employers to build inclusive workplaces, from recruitment to retention. Learn about the principles and practices that make employment truly accessible and equitable.
2. Internship Programme: Discover how our internship model has successfully supported disabled graduates into paid employment. We will present real-life stories and outcomes, showing how structured support and collaboration with employers can lead to lasting change.
3. Launch of our Training Offer: Be the first to hear about our new online training course, an accessible, paid resource for organisations seeking to improve their inclusive employment practices. This course is designed for HR professionals, managers, and anyone involved in recruitment or workforce development.
4. This session will offer practical insights, tools, and inspiration to help you champion disability inclusion in the workplace. There will be opportunities for discussion, questions, and networking with others committed to inclusive change.
