General Information

Pandora is a project operating through the Horizon programme that is a Community Initiative financially supported by the European Social Fund (ESF).
The project aims to increase the employment opportunities for disabled people by increasing the knowledge and awareness of employers and those involved in employment liaison.

The aim of the Workshop is to gain the views of disabled people on employment issues. In particular the following issues will be discussed:

The advertising and promotion of employment opportunities
Perceptions of work from education and other advisory agencies
Being in work, issues faced and issues expected

This is the first of three regional workshops to be held in the Midlands, the North West and South West.

The outcomes of the workshop will inform the structure, content and approaches of the regional focus meetings with employers which will take place in the summer.
