The round table "Supporting the employment of students and graduates with disabilities at different stages of professional development" was held on December 8 at the Volga-Vyatka Institute (branch) of the Moscow State Law University named after O.E. Kutafin (MSUA).


The event was attended by employers, representatives of public organizations of the disabled, ROIVs, employment services and universities in charge of training, support and employment of students with disabilities, as well as students and graduates of universities with disabilities.

The event was held in a hybrid format: colleagues and representatives of organizations developing an inclusive culture could join the discussion online.

In his welcoming speech, the director of the Volga-Vyatka Institute (branch) of Moscow State Law Academy Alexander Plotnikov outlined the main goal of the discussion: to identify existing barriers in the employment of people with disabilities and find mechanisms to overcome them. According to the specialist, a certain part of university graduates always experience difficulties after graduation, however, graduates with disabilities face even greater problems - both psychological barriers and difficulties in finding a suitable job.
