Clare Kennelly is the founder and principal consultant at Inclusive Cork. A graduate of UCC with a BA in Spanish and Sociology and Higher Diploma in Education. She worked for 26 years in varying teaching roles: TEFL, post primary, further and third level education. In all these roles she worked with students with varying disabilities and noticed even though they were succeeding in education, they met obstacles when looking for work placement and employment. Clare is vision impaired and is personally and professionally passionate about disability employment inclusion and universal design. She is the presenter of the DisruptAbility podcast which is an educational and information platform for employers, employees, professionals and parents/guardians to highlight the barriers and opportunities for employing people with disabilities in Irish society and beyond. Clare’s professional goal is to make Cork a leader in Inclusion.
