Over the last number of weeks, we had the pleasure of collaborating with See My Skills - a social enterprise on a mission to foster a more inclusive workplace. See My Skills’ vision is to “create a world where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive and succeed, regardless of their unique challenges”. This particular project focus was on school students, encouraging employers to embrace employees and potential employees who are neurodivergent.
What does Neurodivergent mean? Essentially, it’s a term that describes people whose brains develop or work differently. This means the person has different strengths and struggles from people whose brains develop or work more typically. Neurodiversity includes Dyslexia, Autism, Aspergers, ADHA, and Dyspraxia.
Recently, we opened up Fairfield Meadows site to students where they had the incredible opportunity to meet various professionals from the construction industry and tour the site. From chatting with skilled carpenters crafting with precision to learning about the intricacies of electrical systems from expert electricians, the students learned about the diverse roles within construction.
A special thank you to William O'Brien, Kevin Condon, Shane Cahalane and Treasa Mc Carthy for orchestrating such a memorable and educational experience for the students and nurturing the next generation!
