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.

Why you should attend
