Employment Strategy and Impact on Disabled Persons in the Workplace: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Jodie McGriele:
We have on our books more than 40 companies that we call visually impaired-confident and they all have different levels of engagement with NCBI. Some give us job specifications that we can provide to our talent pool in an accessible format. Others give us mock interviews. We might engage around some corporate social responsibility, internships or work experiences. In some cases, we have found some really nice pieces of best practice whereby a company might call us and say, "We have this job in this area or under this umbrella - what candidates do you have on your books?" We can then make a referral or an introduction. Then that company has aligned a job specification to that person as opposed to the other way around.
