Help us to bridge the disability employment gap and support National Star students to get their first job after college.
The number of disabled people in work since the COVID-19 pandemic has dropped according to the latest Government figures. Only 4.8% of adults with a learning disability are in employment (NHS Digital, 2022).
That’s why the National Careers Service and National Star’s Work Outcomes team would like to invite local employers to take part in a Reverse Job Fair on Wednesday 21 June between 10am – 12 noon at National Star Ullenwood.
The concept behind the Jobs Fair is simple. More than 40 National Star students with visible and invisible disabilities will create displays and presentations that showcase their talents. Employers will be able to move around the tables to introduce themselves.
The students have ambitions to secure roles in catering and hospitality, IT, administration, facilities management, warehousing and more. Do you have a role, now or in the future, that may be suitable for one of them?
Join us on the day and take the next step in tackling your recruitment headache. There’s free parking on site and our social enterprise StarBistro will be providing refreshments on the day. RSVP to workprogrammes@nationalstar.org by Monday 22 May.
