Thursday 25th January; 10.00 am to 11.00 am
Webinar
With 16% of students in UK universities identifying as having a disability any organization that is serious about recruiting & developing the very best talent, must be inclusive of everyone; 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 disabled students remains challenging and progress isn’t happening as fast as they would like it to be. This webinar will provide delegates with the practical advice and guidance required to either kick start their journey into disability & student employment or to turbo charge what they are already doing.
From understanding more about ‘disability’ and the employment challenges facing this talent pool, to encouraging disclosure and implementing support, delegates will build their knowledge and confidence to ensure they are able to provide the relevant support for students with disabilities required both during the recruitment process and in the workplace.
This webinar will include:
Building your understanding of ‘disability’
Highlighting the current challenges faced by disabled students seeking employment
How to support applicants through the recruitment process
It starts with encouraging disclosure
Implementing support in the workplace
Developing your confidence to engage with disabled candidates
Particularly suitable for early years recruitment, ED&I, Interviewing/Line Managers and HR Managers responsible for development.
Also 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. Joining this webinar will enable you to reach and support this growing talent pool more effectively.
