Empower Programme for students on the Autism spectrum

The NHS Merseyside Health Sector Career and Engagement Hub is running the Empower programme - a pre-employment transition workshop for second and final year LJMU students on the Autism spectrum.

Whether you are considering working in the NHS or not, this is a great opportunity to help you to prepare for the transition from university into graduate employment.

The Empower includes:

• A two day employability workshop programme and the opportunity to apply for  a paid NHS internship
• The programme is supported by the Anna Kennedy Online organisation, promoting autism awareness
• The workshop will take place at Whiston Hospital on 8 and 9 April, with applications closing on 20 March
• Applications will be considered on the basis of why the programme is of interest to applicants and how they feel it would be of benefit to them
• There are 20 places available

On completion of the two day workshop, applicants will also have the opportunity to apply for a paid summer internship hosted at a number of Trusts across Cheshire and Merseyside. Full details will be announced at the workshop.
