Manpower places special emphasis on eliminating barriers to employment for people with disabilities. This is one of the reasons Manpower chose to become a Corporate Partner of the "2003 European Year of People with Disabilities", the aim of which was to raise awareness among employers of the issues facing people with disabilities in European society.
We believe that everyone has the right to employment and all Manpower offices around the world are focused on helping people with disabilities enter the workplace and develop their full potential. This may take place through local community programmes such as on-the-job apprenticeships where people with disabilities can learn in a real work environment, or global initiatives like Manpower's online Global Learning Center, which provides thousands of online training courses, free of charge.
