If you are responsible for staff recruitment, our How to Employ ability workshops are for you. They will give you the practical information you need to improve access to jobs for disabled people and those with long-term health conditions.
upbeat, insightful and a real eye opener
Through interactive and thought provoking presentations, you will be:
- challenged about the way you think about recruiting disabled people
- reminded about the pool of talent you are missing out on
- inspired to want to think and act differently.
