This free, ticketed event runs from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and brings together organisations across Derbyshire committed to inclusive employment, accessibility, and equal opportunities.
At the heart of the event is the Reverse Jobs Fair, hosted by Derby College Group’s Supported Internship students.
In this innovative format, students lead the conversation, introducing themselves to employers, sharing their skills and aspirations, and exploring real, paid employment opportunities in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
For stallholders, this is a unique opportunity to:
- Demonstrate their commitment to diversity and inclusion
- Build partnerships that create career pathways
- Support initiatives that promote equity in education and employment
- Help shape the future of jobs in Derbyshire
The Showcase will feature organisations working across:
- Accessibility
- Neurodiversity
- Mental health
- Cultural awareness
- Inclusive recruitment
Amy Bacon, Supported Internship and Work Experience Lead at Derby College Group, said:
“The Inclusion Showcase is about changing the way employers and young people connect. Our Supported Internship students are talented, motivated, and ready to work — they just need the right opportunities.
“The Reverse Jobs Fair flips the traditional model on its head, giving students the chance to shine and employers the chance to see what inclusive recruitment can really look like.”
Free exhibition stalls are now available for organisations to showcase services, vacancies, support programmes, or community work. Be part of a collaborative event that is actively shaping the future of inclusive careers across the region.
