Entrepreneurs with a Disability - Research by Dublin Institute of Technology and disABILITY.ie
01 December 2011
Dublin Institute of Technology, in conjunction with disABILITY.ie, is undertaking research examining people with disabilities in self-employment in Northern and Southern Ireland. The objective of this survey is to gather information on the self-employment experience of persons with disabilities, including the motivations, benefits and barriers to self-employment.
This is a critical study because research of this nature has never previously been conducted in the Irish employment context. In surveying established and aspiring entrepreneurs this research will gain greater insight to the nature of self-employment for people with disabilities, which not only has wider policy implications but can also assist in the development of business training programmes designed specifically for persons with disabilities.
If you are an entrepreneur or an aspiring entrepreneur with a disability please consider spending 10 minutes to complete the survey.
