Employability and Disability’ was a National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) funded project, led by the Centre for Inclusive Learning Support at the University of Worcester, with partners in the Universities of Gloucestershire and Plymouth, and was completed in January 2011. It offered a sector-wide initiative that aimed to reduce discrimination and enhance disabled graduates’ employability. It intended to achieve this by equipping disabled students with the skills to match employability competencies (Kubler et al, 2006), largely through enhancing academic and careers staff’s knowledge and understanding about the potential challenges that disabled students may face in developing such skills, and in offering possible solutions.
