Our Work with Employers

Employer Partnerships

Enrich your business by engaging with a professional community organisation.

We will engage with your company to explore how we can work together to develop opportunities to support our participants and bring added value to your organisation.

This can include job opportunities and work placements to support disabled people to develop skills and build careers. In addition we are happy to explore other ideas for collaboration such as your Social Value objectives.
