In recent years, the importance of diversity and inclusion has become more and more important in society, and companies are also becoming more diverse. Against this backdrop, this time we will be holding a seminar focusing on ``employment of people with disabilities'' as part of the efforts of diversified companies and companies aiming to create work environments that are comfortable for all people.

Working with people with disabilities not only contributes to society as a company, but also allows employees to become aware of the differences in their personalities and abilities, and fosters an atmosphere of mutual help that fosters mutual understanding and consideration. There are many benefits, however, corporate managers and recruiters still face various concerns and issues.

In this seminar, we would like to hear the actual cases and experiences of those involved in finding solutions to the issues and concerns faced by these companies.

We will hear from the perspective of people with disabilities about what it means to create an organization that is easy for people with disabilities to work in, what companies can do to support their careers and independence, and what they are expected to do.
