COMBAT - Corporate marketing to overcome barriers facing disabled teleworkers
The COMBAT project aims to overcome the market exclusion of disabled people in order that they may compete for employment opportunities in information technology distance work across Europe. In particular, the project aims to develop transferable solutions which match the needs of individuals with market requirements and overcome the barriers to technological implementation for disabled people. COMBAT also aims to establish a central business unit which can support a network of local community-based businesses.
The conference will discuss the problems of teleworking and possible solutions, and will examine a number of case studies of teleworking in practice in Ireland and Spain.
