Speed Networking is an opportunity for DREAM Network members (young people with disability and employers) to come together and connect! In this unique networking event, CYDA will host a selected panel of young people with disability, who will each have a short, 5-minute conversation with the facilitator about their skills and experience. Both young people with disability and employers will share their professional contact details to connect and discuss future opportunities.
Young people with disability selected to speak at this event will be paid $75 for their time, experience and preparation. (Let us know in the registration form if you would like to speak at this event, and we will let you know if you have been selected with time to prepare.)

Back by popular demand!
This workshop will give you the tools to identify what is most meaningful to you, and how to look for work, and workplace cultures, that are in line with your values.
This workshop was originally developed as part of CYDA’s celebrated Young Leaders Program, and is facilitated by people with lived experience of disability.
