Specialist Opportunity Fair
An opportunity to find out about training and employment opportunities in and around Sheffield
We are delighted to be hosting a specialist opportunity fair on World Autism Acceptance Day 2025
We are bringing together a small number of employers and training providers in our Sheffield office to give neurodivergent individuals from aged 16 upwards to come along and find out about available support and jobs.
The event is open for anyone to attend but due to the small scale of the event we will only be having a maximum of 8 stalls at the event. This is to ensure that the event is comfortable enough for neurodivergent individuals to attend and not too overwhelming.
Please do feel free to pop in, meet the providers and have a chat to our team about how we can help you find the right opportunity for you.
If you are a training provider or employer and would like to come along to this event please do get in touch with our team to secure a free stall at this event
