Disability Employment Webinar
Why Disability Employment is the Answer to Australia’s Skills Shortage
A free webinar for employers hosted by JobAccess
A slowdown in regional and international talent mobility has seen employers access an increasingly limited pool, as one in five Australian businesses faces skills shortages.
But what if you were able to build a steady, sustainable pipeline of diverse candidates to fill your vacancies? Register here to find out how.
People with disability are reliable, safe and productive employees and yet are overlooked by businesses when hiring.
Nearly 50% of people with disability of working age are looking for work and can be a great resource for industries facing skills gaps.
Progressive organisations are tapping into the diverse skills people with disability have to offer. In doing so, they are reaping the long-term benefits of higher productivity, staff retention and market innovation*.
