Disabilities are something that a lot of us, including me (shout out to any other T1 diabetics), live, thrive and work with – with the right support, you can learn how to tell your employer what you need and gain confidence in managing your disability in the working world.
Not only do our Careers & Employability Keats pages have pretty great material on disclosing your disability to employers, we provide extra support for students with disabilities, including longer one-to-one appointments and a Careers + scheme. Check out external opportunities on our King’s CareerConnect page, and consider these two exciting opportunities:
On Friday 25th October, meet investment banks interested in hiring exciting and ambitious undergraduates living with disabilities or long-term health conditions.
Attended by Citi, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Barclays, UBS and J.P. Morgan, this event will give you a change to network with some of the largest and most innovative investment banking firms.
This event will also include sessions on the investment banking industry, disability disclosure, requesting support and honing your interview skills.
