Live online SEND careers event 

9:15-10:00 thursday 24th of November 

We are delighted to invite autistic young people with or without a learning disability to join us for this unique live online careers event aiming to inspire a generation of autistic young people.

A live panel of employers and autistic young people who are thriving in the workplace will be discussing their successful careers.

The discussion will focus on what they can do not what they can’t do and the panel will be answering questions from students during the event.

Students or their teachers can post questions for the panel before or during the event in the Spark Careers App which is inclusive and accessible for SEND students.
