Ever wondered what the employer side of the conversation is like when they are talking to people with disabilities?

Candidates often have worries about what employers will be thinking because they don’t know what employers do with that information or how they feel about disabled applicants and employees. This is an opportunity to find out from a range of employers:

• How employers support disabled applicants and employees

• What employers think when a CV has unusual timelines or a lack of work experience

• How they feel if candidates give disability related answers in interviews

This is a round table session where our speakers are coming to share a bit about what their organisations do to recruit, support and develop applicants and employees with disabilities and to answer YOUR questions. Ask the questions above or any others that you would like the answers to.
