There are approximately 1 million working age Australians who typically demonstrate longer tenure, high quality work ethic and are less likely to take unnecessary sickies.

Did we mention these 1 million Australians are available for an employment opportunity?

“The way he approached contacting me was fantastic. It’s clear he is really putting in the effort. The level of professionalism he demonstrated and how he followed up with me was refreshing. You clearly work hard to set people up for success and we can see firsthand how hard he works while he is here. Thank you!

Professional Development Series:
An Introduction to Social Inclusion in the Workplace

Why:

People with disability having valued roles such as employees or business owners, and contributing to the everyday workplace is vital to a society where people with disability are not only valuable but valued and included. We believe that businesses, workplace leaders, and teams want to include people from all backgrounds, but our experience is that making this happen first requires consciousness raising.

Overview of Program:

This interactive professional development series is aimed at creating more awareness, empathy, and future action around disability and social inclusion. The workshop will promote a level of knowledge and confidence to increase likelihood that you & your organisation are inclusive and welcoming of all people, particularly those from low participation, marginalised backgrounds.
