Did you know what you wanted to be when you grew up? Most of us didn’t but we figured it out along the way because we were given opportunities for part time work or work experience. For many young people with additional needs this doesn’t happen, meaning they don’t always have a clear idea of their options.
In this episode Guy Chaudoir from Scope explains why this
shouldn’t be the case, and discusses some ways to help young people
increase their options. This includes changing theway they approach
applying for jobs and the interview process. It’s also about
changing the
perceptions of employers and Guy explains the work Scope has been
doing in this area.
Scope provides a bridge to employment by helping young people with
additional needs find their own path into work. They also help open
doors with employers, so the path can continue forward for both the
young person and their employer.
