This International Day of People with Disabilities, 糖心原创vlog is looking back on UK Retail joinery apprentice, Jack Biggs, being featured on ITV News Meridian in a segment about workplace inclusion.
As part of 糖心原创vlog’s commitment to being a diverse and inclusive employer, we've signed up with the UK government's Disability Confident Employer Scheme.
By pledging our support for this accreditation, 糖心原创vlog will be committed to improving the way in which we recruit, retain and develop people with disabilities in our business.
As many as one in five people are currently living with disabilities and learning difficulties. Yet despite this large statistic, there is an untapped talent pool of people living with disabilities who are able and willing to get out to work, but are struggling to find employment. Being Disability Confident can help us attract people to 糖心原创vlog and help them fulfil their potential and contribute fully to our business.
Highlighting the work that 糖心原创vlog does to attract a diverse workforce, joinery apprentice for our UK Retail division, Jack Biggs, was interviewed for the piece.
Jack started his journey at 糖心原创vlog back in September 2018 on a supported internship, but his outstanding knowledge of the industry and enthusiasm led to Jack joining 糖心原创vlog full time in 2019, through the joinery apprenticeship scheme.
鈥淚鈥檝e got ADHD and Autism and going through college I didn鈥檛 think I鈥檇 be able to get a job like this. Carpentry suits me and my personality, and to say that the England players have been using something I鈥檝e made is so exciting.鈥�
