It is envisaged that through exposure to a work setting, job seekers with disabilities throughout Ireland will learn more about job requirements and employers expectations.
They will also gain an awareness of the skills and education required to compete, develop and succeed in the workplace. Employers will gain an increased appreciation of the talent represented by job seekers with disabilities and a better understanding of how workers with disabilities can help them meet their staffing needs. The IASE Job Shadow Initiative will take place throughout Ireland on Wednesday April 22nd 2009.
