We help local businesses become Disability Confident and access local talent

Working in partnership, Talent Match Humber—a Big Lottery Fund programme aimed at helping young people into employment in the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership area—has developed the This Ability initiative to give the local business community a single point of reference for information, advice and guidance.

This Ability steering group was developed by Talent Match Humber on behalf of Humber Learning Consortium, Job Centre Plus Disability Confident, PADD, The Humber LEP, Hull CCG, East Riding CCG and others.

Talent Match Humber, through Humber Learning Consortium is offering a unique and bespoke mentoring package available to employers when recruiting individuals with learning and hidden disabilities.

PADD (People’s awareness of Disability and Difference) are a group of young people in Hull and the Humber who have come together to help employers to become disability confident and access local talent.

The Disability Confident scheme aims to help employers make the most of the opportunities provided by employing disabled people.
