Business Disability Forum in association with the Royal Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh is delighted to be able to offer new career development courses specifically designed for disabled people. The programme will be delivered by highly experienced personal development coach and Business Disability Forum Ambassador, Phil Friend and his non-disabled colleague Dave Rees, a trained expert in neuro linguistic programming.
This course will run twice, once in October and again in November 2019. The course will focus on career development and target training designed specifically for disabled employees.
This course aims to help unlock the talent of employees who might have the potential to grow and offer their employers much more but who are feeling stuck or blocked.
This intensive, three day residential course run by highly regarded and experienced trainers Phil Friend and Dave Rees help disabled employees to understand themselves better so that they in turn are better able to bring their authentic selves to work, ask for and secure workplace adjustments and educate the people around them.
Who should attend?
Why developing disabled talent matters
By endorsing an employee’s application for this course, managers play an important part in recognising an individual’s ability.
The business benefits of having a diverse workforce are well recognised. However, it is simply not enough to ensure that disabled people are recruited into employment. The quality of the work being offered is as important as the quantity of disabled recruits. Once employed, disabled people have the right to the same career development opportunities as their non-disabled colleagues.
Course information:
This is a practical and enjoyable three-day residential course in a fully accessible venue which helps disabled employees to plan and take control of their lives and careers. The course will bring together a group of up to 12 disabled employees
Throughout the course, the participants will be given useful tools and techniques to aid their personal and career planning and will explore common barriers which impede progress.
Learning objectives
The course also includes a formal dinner with an inspirational after dinner speaker. A unique feature of this development course is the creation of a positive and supportive environment in which participants can have frank and constructive discussions about disability and its impact on their working and personal life.
