Waterford Chamber is delighted to continue working alongside the WorkAbility Programme, delivered by Waterford Area Partnership, to help people with disabilities find rewarding and meaningful employment opportunities. Following the success of the Disability Awareness Training for Employers sessions, the WorkAbility Programme are now introducing a brand-new workshop.
 
Wednesday, September 17th
10:00am – 1:00pm
Viking Hotel, Waterford
 
This free three-hour interactive workshop, delivered by Amanda Fox of Autastic, has been designed specifically for line managers and supervisors. The session will explore practical and relevant topics such as:

  • Understanding disability in the workplace
  • Implementing effective accommodations
  • Providing meaningful support for employees
The session will be highly practical, with opportunities to engage in discussion and work through both real and hypothetical case studies.

As part of the WorkAbility Programme, our shared goal is to secure meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities. If you or your organisation are in a position now—or in the near future - to potentially offer an opportunity to a person registered on the programme, we strongly encourage you to attend this training. It will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to create a more accessible and supportive workplace.
 
Spaces are limited and expected to fill quickly. If this session is full, please register your interest for future training in 2025, or for any queries, please contact Jamie Power, WorkAbility Programme Co-ordinator, at jpower@wap.ie or 086 206 7840.
