Employment webinars
As part of the Autism at Work programme in association with the Bloomfield Trust we are delivering a series of webinars.
The webinars are for autistic job seekers, designed to give helpful information about the programme as well as useful guidance and advice on current issues. Topics are listed below but include the ongoing changes to employment that candidates are experiencing.
Webinars are free to register for and are open to autistic people, their family, carers and professionals supporting them. Participants are not expected to contribute to any discussions, but there will be the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the sessions via the chat function if you would like to. The team are really looking forward to welcoming you!
Upcoming webinars
Pre-employment webinars
Vanda Latchford from the Autism at Work team will present an engaging series of webinars to help you learn more about your next steps when about to start a new job in a new organisation. They will help you to prepare and familiarise yourself in advance and be more aware of what you need once you start. These webinars will be useful for brand new starters who are starting their first job as well as those more experienced moving from one job to another as a refresh.
