The Dignity of Work: Are the Voices of People with Disabilities and Employers Around the World Being Heard?

---

The Dignity of Work: An International Forum will bring together employers, scholars, and disability employment service providers on March 19 for a global, online event open to anyone that will be hosted by the Institute on Community Integration.

Presenters from Ukraine, Japan, Malaysia, India, the Czech Republic, the United States, and Australia will discuss the current state of employment for people with disabilities, the use of robotics to support employment, and other topics. Presenters will share customized disability hiring initiatives by employers, along with academic analyses of employment opportunities for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

The event follows up on a 2021 event of the same name, which resulted in a book. Presentations run during the morning and evening to accommodate participants' multiple time zones.
