European Disability Forum publish country reports for Digital Skills, Accommodation, and Technological Assistance for Employment (DATA) project

The European Disability Forum (EDF) has officially published the country report for Ireland on Digital Skills, Accommodation, and Technological Assistance for Employment (DATA), alongside the reports from other EU member states. Supported by funding from Google.org, this research explores the challenges and opportunities that persons with disabilities face in the Irish labour market. The report, written by Dr. Ann Marcus-Quinn, highlights how digital skills training, accessible technologies, and workplace accommodations can significantly enhance the inclusion of persons with disabilities in employment. Its findings offer valuable recommendations for businesses, policymakers, and disability advocates, paving the way toward more equitable access to job opportunities for all. The Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters will review the report’s findings at their meeting on September 25th.
