Global Applied Disability Research and Information
Network on Employment and Training
The Global Applied Disability Research and Information Network (GLADNET) brings together research centers, universities, enterprises, government departments, trade unions, and organizations of and for persons with disabilities. Our common goal is to advance competitive employment and training opportunities for persons with disabilities.
GLADNET's objective is to promote disability policy and program reform with emphasis on integrated training and employment options for working age persons with disabilities. These objectives are achieved through collaborative applied research projects, and by the global exchange of information via the Internet.
GLADNET provides resources such as checklists, brochures, tools and information sheets (in English)
as well as good practices and contacts pertaining to 10 articles in the U.N Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities that relate to disability, training, and work/employment.
