If you are interested in building a career in the green sector, then we recommend talking to people already working in this field.
Are you motivated to improve your understanding of sustainability and build specialist skills and knowledge for your future career?
In collaboration with a number of student interns, Student Futures have created a range of careers resources for students with disabilities or health conditions or those who are neurodiverse.
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.
Understanding the law will allow you to advocate for yourself and know your rights as a disabled job-seeker or employee.
Self-employment can be well suited to disabled or neurodivergent students and graduates, if you find it difficult to keep up with traditional work.
There are a number of initiatives and organisations that support employers to ensure that their recruitment process and working practices do not discriminate against jobseekers and employees with a disability or long-term health condition.
On this page you will find employability support and resources to aid with the transition from LJMU to the workplace.
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!
