  3. Student Futures Internships Programme

    In 2023 Student Futures ran a Green Internship Project with three LJMU students. Their assignment was to explore the area of Green Careers and Skills in more depth.

  4. Sharing information about your disability

    Many students and graduates with a disability, health condition or neurodiversity worry about whether to tell a prospective or current employer. In legal terms, this is referred to as ‘disclosure’. It is both a balancing act and a personal decision whether and when you want to share information about your disability during the recruitment process or in the workplace.

  6. Self-employment

    Self-employment can be well suited to disabled or neurodivergent students and graduates, if you find it difficult to keep up with traditional work.

  7. Glossary

    Do you find yourself confused by the recruitment methods employers use or the different types of work experience you could do to build your skills? Do you know your Right to Work check from your DBS check? Not sure what Access to Work is and how it can help you, or what it means if an employer is ‘Disability Confident’? Our glossary can help!

  8. Targeted opportunities for disabled individuals

    Many large employers are becoming more proactive to recruit candidates with disabilities, neurodiversity and long-term health conditions. Some run their own schemes targeting disabled applicants, while others work with specialist organisations that manage the recruitment process on their behalf.

  9. Starting a new job

    If you have accessed support for your disability or health condition throughout school and university, e.g. in the form of a support plan or funding, you might be concerned about similar support being available to you in the workplace.
