Disability Employment Gap Training: Bridging the Gap in Scotland

This disability employment gap training helps organisations in Scotland understand why disabled people are less likely to be in work — and how to change that.

You’ll explore the root causes, workplace impact, and practical steps to close the gap. It’s not just awareness — it’s about action that drives real progress.

Understand the Gap

Learn why it exists and how it affects your workplace.

Promote Inclusion

Challenge assumptions and remove everyday barriers.

Take Real Action

Use practical steps you can apply straight away.

Led by Experience

Facilitated by trainers with lived and professional insight.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Scotland has one of the widest disability employment gaps in the UK. This training helps your team understand what drives the gap and how to address it. You’ll explore national data, common workplace barriers, and what practical inclusion looks like in action.

We’ll look at recruitment, retention, and progression — and how unconscious bias, workplace systems, and culture all play a role. The session builds confidence to act, not just understand.
