Comment: | The Disabled Workers’ Co-operative is a registered charity that helps disabled people to help themselves. Their aim is twofold - to raise the independence of disabled people (for those that want it) by enabling them to take an active role in the economy and achieve a greater sense of self-worth, and to raise awareness of the contribution that disabled people can make to society.
They provide an on-line database of the skills, services and products disabled people have to offer. Disabled individuals and companies or organisations employing a significant number of disabled people in meaningful employment are able to register the skills, products or services they have to offer free on the Disabled Workers Database. The Database is free for anyone to use.
Their e-Jobs Portal is for employers who wish to go beyond having an equal opportunities policy and actively seek to recruit disabled people; they can advertise their vacancies free, and disabled job seekers can search and apply for vacancies on-line. |
