Neurodivergence: navigating the recruitment process, 11th February, 2-3 pm
If you are a neurodivergent student or graduate, navigating the recruitment process may feel daunting. This session will look at the barriers you face, and provide solutions to overcome them.
Our disability partner, EmployAbility, will cover topics such as imposter syndrome, fear of discrimination, information about inclusive employers, your legal rights, and examples of adjustments to help you demonstrate your skills and competencies. It will be a safe space to learn, and get answers to questions you may have. We hope you’ll be able to join us.
