Description
Did you know that a recent study found that 53% of Gen Z identifies as neurodivergent?
Employers who invest in neuro-inclusive practices will thrive in recruiting and retaining the best talent - and that's not just Gen Z but your whole workforce.
It’s time to embrace this shift — starting with your apprentices.
Managers and supervisors play a key role in creating environments where all apprentices can thrive. Supporting Apprentices – Understanding Neurodiversity will equip leaders with the knowledge and practical strategies to create inclusive workplaces.
This session will help attendees build the skills to support neurodiverse apprentices effectively, ensuring they feel valued and empowered to succeed.
Event host: Inclusive Change

Specialising in neurodiversity and disability, Inclusive Change works closely with organisations to identify and eliminate barriers. This helps foster inclusive environments where diversity is celebrated and everyone feels valued and supported to excel in their work environments.
Why you should attend
This event will equip managers, supervisors and HR leaders in STEM and healthcare professions with the tools to build an inclusive apprentice environment.
You will gain:
- An understanding of neurodiversity in the workplace
-
Strategies to implement reasonable adjustments in line with the Equality Act
-
Proven techniques to support neurodivergent apprentices effectively
- Inspiring case studies, hands-on exercises, and a practical action plan to take back to your team
