Is your organisation interested in Disability Equality Training? Contact [email protected] for info. @MidUlster_DC recently completed the training and Councillor @CoraCorry7 had this to say:

It was a good mix of ensuring we are aware of the Council’s legislative requirements, while also demonstrating to Councillors the barriers that people with various disabilities can face when accessing employment and services."

Replying to @JobMatch_NI
@JobMatch_NI is consistently meeting employer & participant’s needs. Our 2021 employer survey showed that 90% of employers experienced difficulty accessing the right staff with the right skills during 2020-2021 due to COVID-19. We were able to help them find suitable candidates.

Commenting on the first day of the @HarkinSummit @EconomyNI Minister @GordonLyons1 stressed the importance of fully inclusive workplaces #harkinbelfast
Picture of Economy Minister Gordon Lyons Quote - "People with disabilities should be afforded the same employment opportunities as other prospective employees. Employers should work to ensure that a person's disability should not be seen as a barrier to employment. I am confident that this Summit will demonstrate how we can deliver a more inclusive society working in partnership with employers across all sectors of the economy."
