Course Description

Welcome!

Thank you for choosing to take Course 1 in the Inclusion Works: Transformative Recruitment Practices certificate. These courses are for professionals looking to enhance workplace inclusivity and productivity through their recruitment practices. Understanding the nuances of disability management enables professionals to effectively support employees with disabilities, leading to a more diverse and engaged workforce. Additionally, hiring people with disabilities fosters a more inclusive workplace culture and brings unique perspectives and talents, enriching teams and driving innovation and success.

This course focuses on :

Recruiting candidates with disabilities is a critical component of ensuring a diverse workforce and in meeting affirmative hiring goals. However, if organizations are not using disability-inclusive messaging in job descriptions and on career web pages, they may not be able to attract the talent they seek.

The presenter will share findings from several studies exploring how employers use disability-inclusive messaging on career web pages, and how that messaging influences job seekers with disabilities applications and self-identification.


Learning Outcomes

  • Approaches to disability-inclusive messaging on career web pages
  • How job seekers with disabilities approach job searching online
  • How to tailor messaging to encourage job seekers with disabilities to apply and self-identify
