Employability Week

Employability Week

Our first ever Employability weeks were a success!!

We were able to offer 8 different employment settings for our 16+ members to attend, these included Ginger and Pickles tearoom and bakery, Radio Northwich, Chester FC, Morrisons Manufacturing, Co-op, A Plan Insurance and a banking session ran by HSBC.

Thank you so much to all the employers that we have visited over the past 2 weeks for providing our members invaluable work experience and for being absolutely amazing!

If you know of an organisation who would be interested in supporting somebody with Down syndrome into employment then please feel free to contact Lucy our Employability and Enterprise Worker lucym@dscheshire.org.uk


Here is what our members thought:


‘It was a real success’

‘Gained new skills in communicating with new people’

‘He absolutely loved it, can’t thank you enough for including him’
