Horizons’ Job Shadow Day sees largest ever level of participants

“The Job Shadow Day allows the people supported by Horizons to experience life in the workplace and allows employers to experience the skills people we support bring" 

Marian Hennessy, manager of Ability@Work, the programme hosted by Horizons.

Thousands of people have been given a welcome access to employment experience, thanks to Horizons, and specifically the Job Shadow initiative they have hosted for the past 17 years.

Recently, the organisation celebrated the biggest ever Job Shadow month with 82 people supported by Horizons experiencing a day’s work experience with an employer in Cork.
