Tuesday 18th June; 9.30am to 11.00am

Virtual Workshop

Whilst engaging with disabled students and encouraging them to apply for student opportunities remains one of the key challenges faced by many organisations, in reality, it’s not that hard. The starting point, as with all talent pools, is to understand them. 

Disabled students have the same wants, needs and aspirations about their career as any other student does; they also search for careers in the same way and expect to have the same fantastic candidate experience that their non-disabled counterparts will have. However, their disability brings an additional dimension to the mix and must be taken into consideration when designing your attraction strategy, developing your marketing messages and considering the support that is required. 

For this workshop we will be joined by a number of Careers Advisers who specialise in supporting disabled students as they transition from education to employment. They will share the concerns of students, what they are looking for from an employer, and what employers can do to effectively engage with this talent pool. They will also talk about the support that students will require during the recruitment process and the reassurance that students require when requesting and agreeing this.

Particularly suitable for anyone involved in the Early Years Attraction Strategy, Marketing, Early Years Recruitment and HR.
