How Jobtrain supports the Disability Confident Scheme

In the UK, 14.1 million people (1 in 5) are disabled. Of those, over 70% are thought to have non-visible disabilities. (Business in the Community, 2021).

Disabled people have to apply for 60% more jobs to get hired. (The Independent, 2021).

Money spent by those with disabilities and their carers is £249billion per year.  (BBC,2021)

What is the Disability Confident Scheme?

The Disability Confident Scheme supports employers to make the most of the talents disabled people can bring to your workplace.

It replaced the ‘Two Ticks’ aa scheme that sought to guarantee interviews for disabled people.
