On Thursday 9th March, Estela Ruíz will give a seminar from 16 to 19 hours on the required tools for the employability of persons with disabilities, in the room 2A3 of the Socials Sciences building.
As a professional that works in the employability of persons with disabilities, Estela Ruíz, in contact with the human resources departments, has been able to observe, during almost 20 years of experience in this field, several things such as:
- Ignorance in the diversity management when it comes to the incorporation of a person with disability in the company.
- Lack of training in the human resources departments, regarding what is legally considered being a person with disability.
- Incorrect application of the “standard selection” requirements for the incorporation of persons with disabilities.
- Ignorance of the existence of a law that compels to incorporate, at least, a 2% of persons with disabilities in companies of more than 50 workers. Or, failing this, the application of alternative measures.
- Ignorance of recruiting sources of persons with disabilities or social exclusion.
- Grants that a company receive for hiring persons with disabilities.
- Employment opportunities of the Master’s Degree in Human Resources in positions such as “Support function technician” and “Labour integration technician”.
The seminar aims to give the tools for answering the previous questions, with a practical and useful methodology of what can be found in the work environment as human resources professionals.
