Our Promise
The underemployment of neurodiverse individuals is a missed opportunity.
CavendishWORKS aims to amplify the employment prospects for all our young people while highlighting the power of neurodiverse thinking to change the world. We pledge to do this by:
Educating employers and wider society about the untapped potential of neurodiverse minds. This will help them see how simple adjustments that lead to more inclusive workplaces in which a greater number of people can thrive.

SHAPING
Shaping the careers programmes in our schools so we start preparing our students earlier for the world of work. Students will benefit from increased practical advice, opportunities and routes to employment that will help focus minds and choices.

CREATING
Creating a partner network of neurodiverse-friendly employers who will learn and work alongside us to prepare our young people for direct employment in their organisations:
-
helping us to shape the curriculum and skills that our young people need to be successful
-
offering our young people meaningful work experience opportunities and internships
-
contributing to the increased number of neurodiverse people in meaningful, successful and long-term employment.

STRUCTURING
Structuring our curriculum to complement the academic qualifications that they need to succeed, but also the practical, social and 'soft skills' needed to thrive in the workplace.

PROMOTING
Promoting the brilliant young people that we work with, sharing their success stories so they can inspire others.

EDUCATING
Educating employers and wider society about the untapped potential of neurodiverse minds. This will help them see how simple adjustments can lead to more inclusive workplaces in which a greater number of people can thrive.
