Did you know….
People with disabilities in
Ireland have a potential
spending power of €3.3
billion.
Why not reach out to these
customers, their families and
friends by promoting your
business as fully inclusive
and accessible to all?
Your support breaks down barriers to the
workplace and shows that every
individual can, and has, a valuable
contribution to make at work.
I want to get involved…What’s next?
Simply register your
interest in taking part and
your local supported
employment service will
be in touch!
It can be helpful to appoint a
‘workplace coordinator’ to
oversee the planning for
Job Shadow Day.
Alternatively, many employers
take on this role themselves.
A job coach from your local
supported employment service will
work with your business to make the
Job Shadow Day a success.
