TOM: MELBOURNE + SWINBURNE ACCESSABILITY CAREERS HUB
Inclusive and Accessible Career Pathways.
As part of TOM@University program in partnership with Tikkun Olam Makers (TOM), Occupational Therapy (OT) and Design students worked to create design solutions for people living with disabilities to make future work more inclusive and accessible. In collaboration with Swinburne AccessAbility Careers Hub, students explored ways to encourage organisations to become more confident recruiters of people with disabilities. Solutions range from building awareness to accessible and inclusive recruitment processes to a focus on developing research and best practice on onboarding and reasonable adjustment processes for employees with disabilities.
