EVENTS AND PROGRAMMES

- Additionally, auticon (https://auticon.com/uk/) is coming in to run an event for us called Autism and Applying for Graduate Jobs. It is taking place online on 27th March at 1pm, and will take you through simple ways to think about the skills you have, understand what employers are really looking for in their job adverts, and how to match your skills to their requirements. The session will be useful to all but will have a focus on tips for neurodivergent jobseekers. The session will also cover some advice on asking for reasonable adjustments and identifying supportive employers.
