This research project delves into the experiences of graduating with a disability, highlighting the perspectives of various respondent groups and the challenges they face in entering the labor market.

The study emphasizes the importance of matching disabilities with job content for efficiency without impacting colleagues. Gain insights from graduates and employers on creating equal opportunities for all. Contact lieven.vernaeve@hogent.be / sara.drieghe@hogent.be for more information.
