Breaking Down Attitudinal Barriers in the Workplace

In this session, Alice Pan, Project Management Coordinator for the Disability Foundation, will explore the complex landscape of attitudinal barriers faced by individuals with disabilities in the workplace.

Drawing from the Disability Foundation’s comprehensive study, Alice will uncover prevalent misconceptions, biases, and stereotypes that hinder the employment prospects of young job-seekers with disabilities. Through insightful analysis and compelling anecdotes, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the societal attitudes that perpetuate exclusionary practices. Additionally, Alice will engage participants in a dialogue about potential strategies for overcoming these barriers and fostering a more inclusive work environment.

This session offers a unique opportunity to explore the nuances of disability inclusion and challenge conventional thinking around workforce diversity.
