Events
Be disability inclusive in employment
Our calendar of events is an integral part of how we support MyPlus Employers' Club members to achieve real progress around attracting, recruiting and developing disabled talent. We provide a program of informative and interactive virtual Disability Insights and Workshops which provide members with the opportunity to learn about key issues, share best practice and network with others facing similar challenges. Some of our events are available to non-members.
Disability Insights
The Disability Insights are incredibly popular, providing an opportunity to hear from individuals who are dealing with a disability on a daily basis. Students/recent graduates and those further on in their career will share their lived experiences of disability with the aim of bringing the subject to life. These events are suitable for anyone passionate about the subject and who is keen to build their knowledge of disability and their understanding of different types of disabilities and the impact it can have on the workplace. Disability Insights are run virtually.
Workshops
The workshops are practical training sessions designed to upskill individuals working in this space. Focused on different aspects of disability employment and specific disability related subjects in more depth, they provide an opportunity for discussion, learning what other people are doing and sharing best practices. Run by Helen Cooke, CEO of MyPlus and expert in disability employment, they bring together a broad group of individuals, providing different views from experts, lived experiences or personal insights. Suitable as an introduction or a refresher, and appropriate for anyone who would like to understand more about the topic of disability. One workshop is run in-person, and the remainder are virtual.
MyPlus Annual Reception & Disability Progress Awards
The MyPlus Annual Reception provides an opportunity for our Employers’ Club members, sponsors and network of businesses and individuals associated with disability to come together for an evening of drinks, canapés and discussions. Attendees hear the latest developments from MyPlus and have the chance to have conversations around disability and student employment, and network and share best practice with businesses, universities and students with disabilities. During the evening winners of our ‘Disability Progress Awards’ which recognise some of the progress that our members have made over the past year will be announced. Entertainment is provided and the event is by invitation only. Please note these will not be taking place for 2025.
“This was probably the most thought-provoking event I have attended in recent years. My team and I are still talking about it a week later and really discussing how we can bring the topics/issues raised into our ways of working.”
“The event was very informative, well structured, allowed for great discussion and provided a number of takeaways. The event has been a great conversation starter in the office, already I have spoken to a number of people within the business, on a range of topics, all which draw on what I learnt from this session.”
