Software developers with disabilities have a hard time to join the software development market. Due to the lack of diversity that developers with disabilities could hinder innovation. In this work, we explore the Catalisa program envisioned by Zup Innovation, a Brazilian tech company, aimed to hire and train software developers with disabilities. We found that the program was able to accelerate the participants careers, although some shortcomings are still present.
