Connect and Learn Event with Drexel and WCU

We are inviting employers and neurodivergent job seekers to join us Wednesday, November 20th from 10a.m.-12p.m. at Drexel University for our 4^th Connect and Learn Meet-up. This event will focus on connecting job seekers with employers who have a passion for neuroinclusion.

As a note: This is not a hiring event – you do not need to have openings in your organization. You do not need to be in charge of hiring to participate. You can be from any organization in any industry.

How the event will work:

Job seekers will be stationed at individual tables, where employers will approach and get to know the job seeker. Job seekers can share their elevator pitches, resume, and/or portfolios with the employer.  When the employer has provided feedback to the job seeker, they may then move to the next job seeker. 

Drexel University’s Center for Autism and Neurodiversity Advisors will be on-site to assist with elevator pitches and resume building. 

Please dress in business casual for this event. 

Your role as an employer:

Note: This is a practice event for job seekers, not a hiring event…although they would be incredibly grateful if there were opportunities.

• Listen to job seekers’ presentations, and then provide feedback
• Provide information about your company and how someone with their skill sets could fit into your mission/organization
• Provide at least one tip/encouragement for job searching
