Steps for Students


Bridging the gap into employment

 

Are you a student who is ready to work? Have you graduated or are you looking for part-time work to support your studies?

We support students who are:

  • Neurodivergent
  • Have low mood, self-esteem or anxiety
  • Have any other barrier to employment

We can help support you to find that job through one-to-one support, group employability sessions and access to the hidden job market.

 

Steps for Students

Connecting with employers

  • Introduction to industry events
  • Access to the hidden job market
  • Work placements and work trails
  • Brokering relationships
  • Requesting reasonable adjustments and flexible working

 Throughout the Steps for Students programme you will have the support of a dedicated work coach.
