Episode 183 - Inclusive Employment with Down Syndrome Ireland

Back in 2018, Down Syndrome Ireland surveyed their members and found that only 6% of people were in deep and meaningful employment.

Although many HR teams and organisations know that people with Down Syndrome should be supported and included, clearly something is missing. But thankfully, Down Syndrome Ireland is doing some fantastic work in this area to help make a change.

 
So today we’re delighted to be joined by Aoife Gaffney, Head of Employment at Down Syndrome Ireland. 

P.S check out the truly inspiring "hiring chain" video we mention in this episode, right here!
