Promoting Inclusivity and Accessibility in the workplace
The Business Without Barriers Summit and Careers Fair is where businesses of all sizes go to learn about accessibility and engage with highly talented disabled jobseekers.
The event is free to attend and offers an interactive conference programme for HR professionals and accessibility advocates to exchange insights, share success stories, and refine strategies to engage with the 'untapped workforce'. As an added bonus, we are hosting a careers fair, offering you the opportunity to network with potential candidates and tap into a pool of exceptional talent.
Whether you are an accessibility and inclusion professional, in charge of talent and recruitment, or an individual seeking work, join us at Business without Barriers as we seek to create inclusive and accessible work opportunities and environments for the disabled community.
