Objectives• Understand the impact of disability on graduate destinations.
• Discuss the university's responsibility
• Raise awareness of employability support services internally and externally
• Explore ideas for integrating disability issues within curriculum and placement preparation
• Understand more specific issues facing different student groups e.g. students with Asperger's
• Understand an employer's perspective and positive action strategies
