Ms Marie Devitt:

They are incredibly receptive. There has been such a shift within employment and within companies. They are almost coming to us for a solution, saying they want to be more inclusive and asking how to do it. There is massive goodwill from companies wanting to offer opportunities to young people with additional needs and offer them a career path. Ms Ringwood and I work very closely with every employer, once they are a partner, to make sure they feel ready. That is the key. We want everyone to have a positive experience and a positive support network behind them. Ms Ringwood has such expertise in how to prepare the young person and what supports are needed within the organisation. There is a massive desire from the employment sector to be more inclusive. The companies just want the structures to do it. We can support them, to an extent, for our cohort and we have had huge success so far.
