JobAccess Webinar – How Australian Businesses Can Take the Lead on Disability Employment

More than 113,000 Australians with disability are currently unemployed and looking to work*.

Is your organisation ready to employ their skills?

• This webinar may have the answer.

Australian businesses are at risk of missing out on the potential of disability employment due to the lack of exposure, low awareness and limited knowledge about the supports available.

A recent JobAccess survey found that 7 in 10 people have not heard of workplace adjustments, which can be a powerful asset to build a truly inclusive and accessible workplace.

Join the JobAccess free 35-min webinar where they will discuss how employers can tap into workplace adjustments to attract, employ and retain people with disability.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Gather insights from JobAccess’ national survey on the general awareness of disability and workplace adjustments.
• Hear first-hand from large organisations and self-employed people with disability on the impact JobAccess has made in their workplace.
• Learn about the wide range of free supports available to assist employers and people with disability at work.

Connecting Candidates with a Disability to Meaningful Study and Work Opportunities

This is a joint initiative between National Disability Services in WA and Studium.

The initiative was developed to help people with a disability overcome the challenges of gaining employment and allow proactive employers find the right candidate for their business.

On Studium, there are no job ads or applications.

Candidates simply create a free Studium profile and can be found immediately by employers using keywords and search filters.  

Key benefits of the Disability Jobs Connect Initiative

• University students with a disability can be found by employers based on their unique skills, attributes, values, education, qualifications and previous experience. They are empowered to share information about their disability if, and when, they want to.  
• Studium already has over 480 employers searching for candidates, with more expected to be onboarded when the project is launched in the coming months.
• Studium’s strong partnerships with high schools allows universities to identify students with a disability earlier than ever before and support them as they make their transition to tertiary education. 

Most of the current roles are in WA, but there are plans to expand to the east coast. For more information about this initiative, please see the attached flyer.
