On Wednesday 27th of November, students from Inscape went to Liverpool’s Exhibition Centre to find their future work experience.

When the students stepped into the hall, they were surrounded by stalls as far as the eye could see, with core features being a live Army-themed gameshow with a live band, Mercedes-Benz cars, VR simulators, virtual car setups and even a real fire truck. There were things to do all around the place!

No matter how busy the event was, the students enjoyed their day, true proof that autism and other special needs are no barrier to work.

The students left Liverpool with not just sweets, tote bags and leaflets, but great knowledge that would last them a lifetime.
