Doing Careers Differently

Skills Funding Agency Update – Issue 79

The Royal Association for Disability Rights has published a guide written by and for people with lived experience of disability or health conditions on how to make a successful career.

Doing Careers Differently is aimed at those who are just starting out, those rethinking their career, or those who want some inspiration. Sections cover education and training, mentoring, personal development, internships, interviews, networking and what to do about disclosing a disability to an employer. The guide also outlines equality legislation around employment and explains how to deal with difficult situations and difficult people day to day, without having to resort to the law.
