Be one of the employers who will receive the Inclusive Employer Ambassador certification by participating in the project’s pilot webinar.
Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It is characterised by damage to myelin, the protective substance that surrounds nerve fibres, leading to a variety of symptoms such as weakness, impaired movement and speech, and vision problems. Its causes remain unknown, but they are attributed to genetic and environmental factors. The disease has transient episodes and can progress to severe disabilities.
The goal of the ShapeMS project is to provide the resources, information and tools to help young adults with MS stay in the workforce as long as possible. It also aims to raise awareness, educate employers and teach them on how to provide relevant accommodations for workers with MS. Therefore, a Learning Management System (LMS) platform has been developed to cover all professional aspects related to people with MS as well as employers, thus targeting the issue in a comprehensive way.
Piloting webinar
In addition, ShapeMS developed an inclusive ambassador certification program for employers. This certification will be incorporated into the online pilot kick-off webinar, which will be held on the 8th of November, where participating employers will navigate the learning platform, see examples of courses they will be asked to complete, and provide their feedback on the platform. Participants, based on certain requirements, will be able to earn three different Inclusive Ambassador badges and enjoy various benefits, including certification, recognition on the ShapeMS website, and learn about funding opportunities.
Participants’ organizations will be promoted in a national and European level as inclusive ambassadors for people with Multiple Sclerosis and disabilities!
