Belong: Accessible Tourism Workplaces eLearning will encourage, support, and strengthen tourism’s ability to foster inclusive, diverse, equitable, accessible, and leading (IDEAL) workplaces and provide meaningful employment experience for people with disabilities. Tourism workers at any level of their career will be able to understand disability and accessibility inclusion in the workplace, identify potential barriers to inclusion, and understand benefits of remote work opportunities. They will also be able to describe mental health, mental illness, and substance use disorders, describe tools to improve accommodations in the workplace, and help create IDEAL tourism workplaces. Belong: Accessible Tourism Workplaces eLearning contains eight modules. Some modules have been designed for all levels of tourism staff—frontline workers, managers/supervisors, and senior leaders—while others were designed for a specific level. However, any level of tourism employee is welcome to complete as many modules as they would like, as is anyone interested in working in tourism. The modules are:

• Start Your Inclusive Tourism Journey (main audiences: frontline workers, managers, and senior leaders)
• Build An Inclusive Tourism Culture (main audience: frontline workers)
• Empower Diverse Voices In Tourism (main audience: frontline workers)
• Become An Inclusive Tourism Leader (main audience: managers/supervisors)
• Develop Inclusive HR Strategies (main audience: managers/supervisors)
• Drive Workplace Accessibility Change (main audience: senior leaders)
• Implement Your Tourism Accessibility Strategy (main audience: senior leaders)
• Continue Your Accessibility Journey (main audiences: frontline workers, managers/supervisors, and senior leaders)

All eight modules include interactive and engaging lessons with real-world examples, tools and resources to apply to the workplace, a Learning Participation Guide, and checkpoints, scenarios and questions to test progress through the module. To be as accessible as possible, the modules contain various layouts—which can include a combination of text, images, graphics, and interactive buttons—and are accompanied by narration. This narration can also be accessed as a transcript. Upon completion of all modules, learners will receive a Certificate of Achievement.
