Cibyl x MyPlus - Same job, different journey

Same job, different Journey:

The realities of disabled and non-disabled student job seekers and how employers can respond.

8% of students who dropped out of recruitment processes, cited that there were no reasonable adjustments available that suited their needs (Cibyl Graduate UK Survey 2025).

Plus, 18% of students have a disability or long-term health condition (UK Gov).

That's a nearly a fifth of your potential applicant pool.

But do you know:

• Why disabled students may not be applying to your roles?
• Which assessment stages are more likely to result in disabled candidates dropping out?
• What onboarding approaches and tools are best practice for engaging and supporting new joiners with a disability?

Our upcoming MyPlus and Cibyl collaborative webinar aims to help attendees:

• Learn the key differences between disabled and non-disabled job seekers from our Cibyl School Leaver and Graduate survey data
• Understand and act to ensure they are disability inclusive and maximising their talent pool courtesy of advice from MyPlus
• Hear best practice approaches from the likes of Capgemini, and how they're supporting disabled candidates and new joiners
