About Job Shadow Day

Job Shadow Day, sponsored by Irishjobs.ie, is a national project bringing people with  disabilities and local employers together for one day to promote equal  employment opportunities and highlight the valuable contribution people with  disabilities can and do make at work.

Participants explore the world of work by ‘shadowing’  someone in the workplace as they go about their normal working routine.
