Event Details

Apprenticeships offer a powerful route into work, yet autistic students and employees often face additional barriers to recruitment, retention and progression.

This employer-focused event, delivered by De Montfort University as part of National Apprenticeship Week, will explore how organisations can better attract, support and retain autistic employees through inclusive apprenticeship pathways and workplace practices.

You will hear from experts and lived-experience speakers who will share practical information into what works, the challenges autistic individuals face, and how employers can make realistic adjustments that benefit both people and performance.
