Defining Inclusive Employment

Описание: Despite growing interest in neurodiversity and disability inclusion in the workplace, higher education and industry still lack a shared understanding of what it means for an employer to be truly inclusive. This video was developed to help establish that shared understanding by exploring the workforce systems, practices, and organizational culture that create more inclusive employment opportunities for neurodivergent individuals and people with apparent and non-apparent disabilities.

Developed by the UConn Wells Fargo Center for Neurodiversity and Inclusive Employment in collaboration with the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) Career Planning Knowledge and Practice Community, this resource features the perspectives of employers, disability services professionals, career services professionals, and early career talent. Together, these voices demonstrate how intentional workforce design across the employment lifecycle can strengthen the transition from higher education to employment while fostering more accessible, equitable, and inclusive workplaces.

Whether you are an employer, higher education professional, workforce or community organization, disability advocate, student, job seeker, or someone interested in advancing inclusive employment, this video is designed to establish a shared understanding of what it means to be an inclusive employer while providing practical insights that educate, inspire, and encourage more inclusive employment practices.
