Deaf Works Everywhere

Deaf Works Everywhere is our campaign to get more deaf young people into work – and into jobs that inspire them.Deaf Works Everywhere

Many deaf young people believe their career options are limited. With the right support deaf people can work everywhere, yet they are twice as likely to be unemployed as their hearing peers. But deaf people can be musicians, doctors and electricians – the list is endless.

We’re fighting for better careers support, more work experience and volunteering opportunities, and challenging expectations of what deaf young people can achieve.

What does your future hold?

All young people including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) should be supported to achieve their optimum career outcome.

Having a job is about so much more than just earning money. It’s about feeling valued, becoming independent and personally fulfilled. Use the Greater Essex Your Futures site today to help support you to achieve career success in the future.
