Beyond Disabilities: Empowering Inclusion in Every Workplace

This panel discussion brings together three working persons with disabilities (PwDs) from diverse professional backgrounds to share their lived experiences in the workplace. Through candid reflections on their career journeys, the panellists will offer insights into the opportunities, challenges, and strengths that PwDs bring to different sectors.

The session aims to broaden public understanding of the capabilities of PwDs, challenge common misconceptions about disability and employment, and highlight the importance of inclusive practices in building equitable workplaces. Participants will gain a deeper appreciation of how lived experience informs advocacy, professional expertise, and meaningful contributions to society.
