The South Thames College project is aimed at creating work experience opportunities for learners with disabilities through local employers in south west London and then eventually towards the apprenticeship process. Our employer/learner seminars are set for the end of February 2014 and planning for them is well under way with identified learners being sent information about the project and invitations to either one of the seminars. Our Business Centre is contacting local employers. Our project's Assessment Manager Dan Simons has provided some very helpful information including an employer questionnaire focusing on issues related to recruitment, retention and work place adjustments in relation to potential employees with disabilities.

Our college planning team together with our seminar facilitator meet early in January to finalise the 'agenda' for our half day workshops.
