Just got back from a speed networking event at the KC stadium in Hull. Very worthwhile as I met a good number of interesting people. Most interesting of all was Andy Batty who runs CASE, an employment support charity.
Andy's job involves finding employment for people with learning difficulties. He works with employers to find people work placements, short term contracts and even full-time contracts. Andy and his team assess employers' needs and match them to the skills of the people he supports. Very often, thanks to Andy's intervention, employers are able to adapt their work place to help accommodate people with learning difficulties who, as Andy says, are often the most talented, honest and loyal of employees.
Part of the buzz I get from networking is the opportunity I get to lear about other people's skills and the services they offer. Here's the link to his website, I thoroughly recommend it.
