The project, which is funded by Aktion Mensch, aims to make the recruitment process and the working environment more inclusive for women with disabilities. Ten female students* with disabilities will accompany the participating institutions (including the City of Bonn, Adecco, PNB Paribas) for one year as experts* in their own right. They will act as "inclusion guides" and work together with the companies on job advertisements, visual language, employer branding and recruiting. Through the advisors with disabilities, the companies will learn how they can position themselves as inclusive employers while the inclusion guides can get to know a work environment as well as potential employers.
 
The University of Bonn would like to use the experience and knowledge gained from participating in the project to further strategically position itself as an inclusive and diverse employer. The outside view into the organization that the guides provide is particularly valuable, as it can help to identify not only potential in regards to accessibility, but also potential for the recruitment of women* with severe disabilities. Also, the outside view can help in developing and implementing relevant measures.  On the part of the University of Bonn, the Equal Opportunity and Diversity Unit is participating in the project in cooperation with Department 3 Human Resources Management and Department 8 University Communications.
