Sorry to come in so late on this one, but this may be helpful.
We recently ran an advertisement in the local press asking for people
who would be interested in ofering services for disabled students, as notetakersreaders, personal assistants etc. We asked that the notetakers should
have some knowledge of higher education. I receieved 165 responses, many of which were graduates, I was able to select 23 to train for CACDP Notetaking
status, all were graduates and I was able to select the discipline
areas I needed notetakers for. Although this may not be possible for the
original enquirer to do, I share this with you all as I was certainly
very surprised that so many graduates ( and good ones at that, some having
additional skills like sign language for example)are without employment,
indeed some of 'my workers' are also on Post Graduate programmes, where
additional money is always welcomed ! If anyone would like more detailed info.
please contact me direct.
Thanks
