One billion people worldwide live with a disability. Despite being the world’s largest minority group, people with disabilities face serious barriers to going to school, getting a job, and building a career.
On April 26th, the Global Business Coalition for Education invited its Members and Collective Partners to a panel discussion on its recently released disability inclusion handbook. You can read about the discussion and watch it again here.
To attend future webinar, please join the Collective, a community where business leaders can grow together, build relationships, learn from experts and each other – as a foundation and bridge into forming organic alliances and partnerships.

GBC-Education handbook provides detailed guidance in four areas:
- How to include and engage persons with disabilities as students, employees, consumers, and partners
- What to consider when creating inclusive hiring and employment policies and corporate culture
- What makes for effective disability-inclusive education and training
- How the private sector can build successful partnerships with organizations for persons with disabilities
On April 26th, the panelists will talk about how businesses can make a transformative contribution to the lives of people with disabilities by improving education, training, and employment for young people with disabilities.
