Stonewall is launching the fifth edition of Starting Out, Britain’s lesbian, gay and bisexual recruitment guide at an event hosted by Imperial College London on October 29.
 
Lesbian, gay and bisexual students, graduates and jobseekers are invited to attend the launch of the guide, which now includes some 400 potential employers.
 
Starting Out targets the 150,000 lesbian, gay and bisexual students in Britain, inviting them to take their talent and skills to an employer who will support them.
 
As well as receiving a free copy of the guide, graduates and jobseekers who attend will also be able to network with representatives from members of Stonewall’s Diversity Champions Programme.

Employers who join the Programme have made a strong commitment to improving their workplaces for their LGB staff.

David Shields, Stonewall Director of Workplace Programmes, said:
"Attending the launch of Starting Out 2009 offers LGB graduates and jobseekers the opportunity both to be among the first to obtain a copy of the new guide and to meet professionals from employers who are committed to ensuring LGB people feel valued and supported. If you’re lesbian, gay or bisexual and looking for a new job Starting Out will help you connect with potential employers who already benefit from a diverse work force."
 
Print copies of Starting Out will be distributed to students’ unions, university career services, employment agencies and university lesbian and gay societies and sixth forms across  Britain . For the first time the guide will also be available as a fully interactive website for jobseekers and graduates.
 
If you’re a lesbian, gay or bisexual graduate or jobseeker you can register for the free launch event by emailing: recruitmentguide09@stonewall.org.uk
