About This Cause
What is CareER? CareER is a higher educated students/graduates community with disabilities founded and organized by students/graduates with disabilities. It is established as a bridge between students/graduates with disabilities and employers with targets to bring all of our members to employment. CareER is a non-profit organisation grew from personal experience and research in the disabled community. What emerged was the inadequacies in employment opportunities, support for career and related advice from schools to enable students with disabilities to prepare for their career and demonstrate their full potential in the work place. At present it is not uncommon for disabled graduates unable to apply their knowledge and experience as professionals. The CareER initiative is to address the aforesaid issues by constructing a bridge between employers from different sectors, with high potential tertiary institution graduates/students with disabilities. We envisage a community and a sharing platform for all parties to facilitate communication and information flow, and create pre-employment networking opportunities for the graduates/students, while exposing employers to the vast untapped resource that are qualified disabled people. About Us Purpose of CareER CareER is being developed to meet the needs of students/graduates with disabilities when they are choosing their higher education institution, once they commence their studies, and as they transit to employment. These students/graduates are currently under-served in Hong Kong as identified in an extensive research report for think tank Civic Exchange, published in 2012. They need better understanding of higher education services; greater levels of support whilst entering institutions, sustaining their studies and transitioning to employment; a meeting point to share experiences with other students/graduates. CareER is initiating multiple services to meet these students’ needs, as well as a physical and virtual infrastructure that bridges student, institutions and corporate communities. Around this infrastructure, CareER will foster a community of supportive individuals with the longer-term aim of increasing the access to higher education for students with disabilities, improving support available to them at higher education institutions and enhancing opportunities for employment. The provision of visible paths and tangible networks to help them secure appropriate employment will be a core focus.
