- New Adjustment Planner to be rolled out to all universities and higher education colleges across UK
- The planner collects key information about a student’s adjustment needs which can be easily shared with prospective employers
- Trial results show disabled students using the planner are more confident entering employment
Hundreds of thousands of disabled university and higher education students are set to benefit from a new Government planner to help ease their transition into work.
Following a successful pilot at several top universities, the Department for Work and Pensions’ (DWP) Adjustment Planner will be rolled out to all students in higher education in time for the next academic year.
Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work, Tom Pursglove MP, said:
“Searching for a job post-university as a disabled student can be stressful but our new Adjustment Planner has been proven to make that process easier, helping more disabled people to start, stay and succeed in work.
