About Cloud-Plus Disability Foundation (CPDF)

Everyone is either or potentially living with disability. It is just a matter of time; either at birth, circumstances, or old age. Cloud-Plus Disability Foundation (CPDF) aims to help Individuals with Disabilities (IWD) to secure and sustain employment and gain support they need from their employers, supervisors, and co-employees through awareness and training programs. Studies have shown that lack of awareness on the challenges and support that IWD face and need mainly account for the reason many employers, supervisors, and co-employees have unfavorable perceptions toward them (link to the studies).

Creating Awareness through Education

CPDEF provides modules 1-5 that explain what the employers, managers, supervisors, and co-employers need to know about IWD and support them during their employment process that ranges from recruitment, hiring, training, retention, and accommodation based on researchers’ recommendations, disability regulations, such as the American Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Rehabilitation Act (RA) of 1993, Workforce Opportunity Innovation Act (WOIA) of 1914, Disability Act of Several Countries, and the World Health Organization.

Modules and Quiz as the Education Process

At the end of reading the modules, employers, managers, supervisors, and co-employees will take a quiz. Those who pass the quiz will be issued a certificate of completion. We advise you lookout for your category: employers, managers/supervisors, or co-employees of IWD before taking the quiz. The quiz consist of 50 questions each, covering all aspects of the employment process of IWD:

  • Recruitment
  • ⁠Hiring
  • ⁠Training
  • ⁠⁠Retention, and
  • ⁠Accommodation

You are expected to answer at least 40 questions correctly to pass the quiz and be eligible for the certificate. Inability to answer at least 40 questions correctly will lead to retaking the quiz until the criteria for pass is met. Please, ensure you read and listen to the quiz with rapt attention.
