Supported Internships and Working with People with SEND in the Workplace
DWP and Mencap invite employers to join a practical webinar exploring Supported Internships, inclusive employment and how businesses can benefit from working with talented people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
Helping employers build more inclusive workplaces
Following the success of last year’s employer webinar during Learning Disabilities Week, DWP and Mencap are hosting another online session to help employers better understand Supported Internships and inclusive workplace practices.
This free webinar is designed for employers who want to learn more about working with people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), the support available, and the business benefits of opening opportunities to a wider talent pool.
