Over 1,000 jobseekers and employers are expected to team up for this year’s Job Shadow Day on Wednesday April 27th.
Job Shadow Day is designed to give people with disabilities the unique opportunity to get a close up look at the world of work to discover and learn about the skills and education required to compete and succeed in the work place.
If you know someone interested in taking part, either an employer or a person with a disability, then you can find more information about Job Shadow Day here.
Job Shadow Day brings people with disabilities and local employers together to highlight the valuable contribution people with disabilities can, and do make in the workplace.
Last year, close to 800 individuals with a disability shadowed at over 500 employment sites in Ireland, with 55 securing a permanent job placement as a direct result of Job Shadow Day.
Previous high profile participants that have hosted a ‘shadow’ for the day are: An Taoiseach, Norah Casey, Ray D’Arcy, Ryan Tubridy, Feargal Quinn, Padraig O Ceidigh, Nevin MacGuire, Brendan O’Connor and Ken Doherty.
