inclusion programs
Equity access efforts
Inclusion programs are organized efforts to integrate people who have historically been excluded or marginalized—whether by disability, race, gender, socioeconomic status, or other factors.
In education, inclusion programs place students with disabilities in general classrooms rather than separate settings.
In workplaces, they aim to recruit and retain diverse employees: The company launched inclusion programs targeting veterans and people with disabilities.
The term often pairs with diversity: diversity and inclusion programs.
