​Last week, ersg partnered with a local school to support neurodivergent young people with their journey into the workforce. We gathered several of our team who were keen to help and devised a series of workshops to deliver across the morning to learn about jobs in both Renewable Energy and Recruitment. This quarter, we are working with two Inner-London schools to deliver these workshops and are committed to continuing to run them at least once a quarter.

​

Our goal was to build workshops that complement the different learning styles of these young people. We understand that neurodiverse people have different styles of learning that often conflict with the classroom environment. With this in mind, we developed workshops with the aim of embracing all learning styles, catering for those who prefer visual spatial as well as logical verbal learning. We did this through a diverse and adaptable all styles of teaching, with short presentations about the industry paired with more involved small group sessions.

​

We kicked off the day with an introduction to the Renewable Energy industry, asking them what they thought it was and what types of jobs might be available within it. We asked our consultants to give us their most interesting jobs within this field, and gave them short, engaging information on Rope Access Workforce, ROV Pilot and Marine Mammal Observer and, of course, Recruiter.

​

We then split off into smaller groups to give a more involved and active style of teaching.

This portion of the day included an office tour, interview, and CV coaching, ensuring that the students are well informed and equipped to put their best foot forward when looking to enter the workforce. We encouraged students to direct the workshops with their questions and lead with what most interests them.

​

The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive, both from the students and the staff. We will continue to run these workshops with local schools to offer employability workshops to empower neurodivergent young people to feel confident in their career options as they move forward into the workforce.
