Disability Course
People with disability are drastically under-represented in the Australian workforce despite making up nearly a fifth of the population. Employment enables people with disability to achieve financial independence, improve their mental health, and develop friendships. Studies also show that companies that employ people with disability regularly report increased productivity and sharply decreased staff turnover.
The Disability course helps organisations welcome people with disability into all aspects of business, and help teams be more inclusive. The course has been made in collaboration with the Australian Network on Disability, as well as input from the Northcott Disability Services and the University of Queensland Workforce Diversity and Inclusion team.
The Disability course is scalable, cost-effective, and can be delivered to employees by:
-
Learning Management System
-
Online Course Portal
-
Annual Licence Fee
`The interactive training approach has helped our organisation embrace our diversities, while creating a safe and happy place to work.`
