This resource highlights ways employers can support apprentices with a physical disability or mobility difficulties.
The fact is that people with physical disabilities have the same range of skills and abilities as the population as a whole. Hiring an apprentice with a physical disability or mobility difficulties can result in the purchasing of equipment (such as a ramp or lift), which will make your company more accessible for other people with a physical disability or mobility difficulties. It will also send out a clear message that your organization is positive, flexible, disability-aware and reflects social diversity.
