In collaboration with Workforce Australia Local Jobs - Murray and South East in the lead up to the Riverland Jobs and Skills Showcase 2024:

JFA Purple Orange’s Unlocking Inclusivity: Disability Inclusion and Recruitment training will build your confidence and capacity to become an inclusive and accessible employer. You will come away with practical tips on how to overcome barriers to employment for people with disability.

Why Attend?
