As the number of disabled graduates entering the workforce continues to grow, it is vital that employability staff are equipped to deliver the specialised guidance these students need to succeed. This requires a deep understanding of the unique challenges disabled students face during the job-hunting process and the ability to empower them to overcome these barriers.
For many students, this also involves boosting their confidence to consider applying for roles and helping them identify and articulate their unique strengths.
In this interactive webinar, we will:
- Explore the current employment landscape for disabled students
- Identify the key obstacles they encounter during recruitment
- Enhance our expertise in advising students on four critical areas:
- Disclosure of disability
- Requesting workplace support
- Addressing mitigating circumstances
- Showcasing their disability as a strength to employers
- Share practical tips and strategies to apply in your student interactions
The session will be led by Helen Cooke, CEO and Founder of MyPlus, and designed as an engaging, discussion-driven event. This webinar is free to attend.
Please note that in order to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable speaking and contributing, we do not record our webinars.
