Tuesday 25th April; 10.00 am to 11.00 am
Webinar
15% of students in UK universities identify as having a disability; a figure that is set to continue to rise. Any organization that is serious about attracting and recruiting the very best talent, must be inclusive of everyone and this obviously includes those who have a disability; being able to leverage this talent pool considerably increases the overall talent pool for any employer.
While progress is being made in this area, many employers continue to say that engaging with students with disabilities remains challenging and the results they are seeing are not good enough. This doesn’t need to be the case and this workshop will provide delegates with all they need to kick start their disability confidence recruitment journey.
From understanding more about ‘disability’ and the employment challenges facing this talent pool, to encouraging openness and implementing support, delegates will build their knowledge, confidence and ability to attract and recruit students with disabilities, and ensure they are able to provide the relevant support required throughout the recruitment process.
The webinar will finish with a session on ‘getting comfy’ with disability which will address the common concerns we have when engaging with disabled candidates.
This webinar will:
Build your understanding of ‘disability’
Highlight the current challenges faced by disabled students seeking employment
Ensure you can provide support and adjustments
It starts with encouraging openness
Develop your confidence to engage with disabled candidates
Ideal for those who are new to the area of disability as well as those who have been working in this area for a while and wish to consider some of the key issues from a fresh perspective, this webinar will enable you to reach and support this growing talent pool more effectively.
The webinar will be recorded and the recording will be available free to all Recruiters' Club members to access and share within their organisations for 1 month following the live event. Contact lise@myplusconsulting.com to access the recording.
