Disability: adjustments in recruitment and the workplace

Our Next Generation Inclusive University partnership with EmployAbility, will kick off with a session focussed on empowering disabled and neurodivergent students to ask for the adjustments they need to ensure equity in recruitment and in the workplace.

The session will give an overview of the Equality Act, the duty of the employer to provide the adjustments needed, and what constitutes a ‘reasonable’ adjustment. It is a safe environment to ask any questions, and learn more about how Employability can help you. 

Who is it for?
All students whether you have a diagnosis or not.

Neurodivergence: navigating the recruitment process

If you are a neurodivergent student or graduate, navigating the recruitment process may feel daunting. This session will look at the barriers you face, and provide solutions to overcome them. Our disability partner EmployAbility will cover topics such as imposter syndrome, fear of discrimination, information about inclusive employers, your legal rights, and examples of adjustments to help you demonstrate your skills and competencies.

It will be a safe space to learn, and get answers to questions you may have. We very much hope you’ll be able to join. You do not need a diagnosis to attend this session, if you feel you are affected, then please come along to this session designed to provide practical advice and guidance to empower you to succeed in your job applications.
