We have increasingly close links as partners in the Student Support Group of services at Brunel. We also work closely with the Placements arm of the Careers Service over the needs of disabled students on placements. Last year the Careers Service here achieved Matrix accreditation, something we plan our Disability and Dyslexia service to go for in 2006, are any colleagues in other disability services doing the same? 

 

With best wishes,

 

Martin.

We are now part of a new division, Student Life, which includes Careers. It's too early to say what direction this might take, but no will doubtless involve closer working. The University is placing much more emphasis on empoyability and so far we're talking to disabled students about careers at an earlier stage, emailing them about placement opportunities, career events etc, have put some info on our website (http://www.sscs.bham.ac.uk/disability/careers.htm), & are making links with external organisations eg Blind in Business (who have been very helpful).

 

Happy Holidays!

Hi, I am interested in finding out about how much liaison HEIs have with the careers service at your institution re: students with disabilities and progression into the world of work? Any feedback of any kind on this would be gratefully received.

Best wishes and merry Christmas too!
