Bringing Disability Confidence to Campus

As students consider their progression from education into the workplace it is important that further education institutions build their understanding of the employment challenges facing students with disabilities and enable their staff to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to improve employment outcomes for this cohort.

MyPlus provides training, resources, insights and expertise to enable universities to provide students with disabilities with the specialist careers advise they require to manage their disability during the recruitment process, gain the adjustments and support they require and demonstrate their full potential.

“Helen delivered a session to staff on requesting adjustment and support. All of the team attended and reported increased confidence and knowledge in this area following the training. We all felt comfortable to ask questions and received supportive and easy to understand answers from Helen. It was such a safe space to discuss the issues of requesting adjustments. I would recommend any team to undertake training with Helen. You will learn so much.”
— Katrina Forbes, Head of Careers and Employability, University of Strathclyde
