Neurodiversity - Breaking Down Invisible Barriers - with EmployAbility

If you have autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, Tourette's or another neurodiversity, and irrespective of whether you have a formal diagnosis, this session is relevant to you. It will focus on the invisible barriers which prevent students with neurodiversities, mental health conditions and other disabilities, from getting the careers they deserve. It will look at what these barriers are, and how to navigate them. It will include a discussion around how to overcome the psychological barriers within us, the sorts of adjustments available, and the legal context - disabled candidates' rights and how to exercise them. It will also look at when, why and how to talk about disability during the recruitment process. There will be the opportunity for you to ask questions throughout and at the end.

You can book online for the event here - you do need to book to get the link for the session but you don’t have to have your camera on if you prefer not to.

This is part of a week of online employer events from 4-7 May 2021, specifically for final year students and graduates. This will give you the chance to meet and network with a range of employers, who all have live vacancies. If you're still looking for a graduate job, don't miss these events!

We have also designed a Get Ready to Graduate Pathway to help guide you through the various stages of securing a graduate job. Whether you’re at the application stage, have an interview lined up, or aren't sure what you really want to do or what options are available to you, the Pathway has resources and activities that cover all stages of your journey, in one handy place! You don’t need to do all the activities listed (there are a lot!) - just select which ones you want to do and work through them at your own pace and in any order. You can return to the Pathway and continue at any time.

The main aim of this workshop is to support you with long term, transformative wellbeing techniques and build a supportive network.
