Developed by colleagues in Careers, Employability and Skills, Accessible Learning Support, and external partner Specialisterne (a leader in neurodiversity employment), Career Boost integrates expertise from Queen’s Professional Services with evidence-based strategies from Specialisterne’s Empower programme (peer support workshops for neurodivergent job seekers).

Incorporating the student voice, and particularly the neurodivergent student voice in its design, the 10-week programme addresses real-world employability challenges and fosters inclusivity through:

• Hybrid delivery: Blending in-person sessions, online learning, and self-directed activities to accommodate diverse learning preferences and schedules.
• Multisensory teaching approaches: Ensuring accessibility for neurodivergent learners and promoting equitable engagement.
• Peer-to-peer learning: Leveraging the Queen’s community to create collaborative, supportive environments.
