It is argued that people with disabilities can increase their possibilities of finding appropriate employment by developing their ICT AT skills. But is it as easy as that? What are the lessons learned so far and what are critical issues? How should the training look like in order to be really effective both for the person and for his/her employer? And if people want to make the step from “competent ICT AT user” to “ICT AT trainer”, what competences are involved and how should the training look like? What employment opportunities would there be for ICT AT trainers or peer counsellors.
These issues, and others, will be addressed by stakeholders during a Round Table discussion.
