disabity students work placement
20 May 2014
> Change100
>
> So far we've confirmed 14 disabled students will be doing paid internships at
top UK companies and at Leonard Cheshire for the first time this summer.
>
> If the employment rate for disabled people matched that of the rest of the
UK, an extra two million people would be working. Our Change100 programme will
help disabled students get the experience they need and of course the
confidence.
>
> Plus the companies involved will become more confident about employ disabled
people ??? not as scary as some might think.
>
> There is nothing else like Change100 in the country. It gives people the
experience they need. And it changes employer's attitudes.
>
> This summer is just the start. If you know a company that could host a
Change100 intern next year, please get in touch now.
>
> Disability equality training
> Of course we need far more companies to understand disability. With 1 in 6 of
us having some form of disability in our lifetime, all employers and companies
need to become 'disability confident'.
>
> Our Disability Equality Training gives employers the knowledge they need. And
it is all delivered by disabled trainers who can talk from experience about
what needs to change.
>
> If you know a company that needs to get more confident about disability, let
us know.
>
> This is all part of our work to change Britain's attitudes to disability for
good. Thank you for being part of it.
