Call for Workplace Challenges
Your Voice, Your Workplace, Your Solutions
Solve for Success: The Workplace Barrier Design Challenge is a competition cohosted by Starkloff Disability Institute and MO Better Foundation to tackle real workplace barriers faced by people with disabilities:
Professionals with disabilities submit their own workplace challenge—the barrier impacting them at work. If selected, we will connect the user (person facing the barrier) with a group of problem solvers to design a solution as a team. The project solutions will be judged by a panel of experts and the top designs will be recognized at an upcoming event.
User-Centered Projects
Today, we’re looking for individuals with disabilities who are willing to share a workplace challenge they’re experiencing—big or small—that they would like help solving.
- You share your challenge.
Tell us what’s making your job harder or holding you back.
- You stay at the center of the design team.
If your challenge is selected, you’ll be at the heart of the design process, working as a co-creator with a team of problem solvers that may include engineering students, assistive technology professionals, occupational therapists, and more. You’ll guide them to develop a solution that meets your needs and could assist others, too. Expected time commitment is about 2 hours per month.
- Real outcomes.
The solution will solve your real challenge, setting you up for greater success at work.
