SEND careers support and resources for educators

West Yorkshire Combined Authority offers free SEND careers resources for educators in schools and colleges. Our two toolkits help you connect SEND students with alumni and employers: the SEND alumni network toolkit helps you build a network of former SEND students to support careers activities, and the SEND engage with employers toolkit helps you create meaningful employer encounters for your students.

Looking for the right tools to support SEND young people? You can find helpful toolkits below. They will guide you in connecting with past SEND student alumni and engaging with local businesses in West Yorkshire.
