Stonewall have launched two new resources to help gay job seekers find the career of their dreams.
All employers featured in Starting Out and Proud Employers are members of Stonewall’s Diversity Champions programme, the world’s largest best practice employer’s forum on sexual orientation in the workplace, and are committed to making their workplaces gay-friendly.
The launch event – supported by Square Peg Media – was attended by students from across Britain along with representatives from employers featured in Starting Out. 10,000 copies of the guide are being distributed to students’ unions, university career services, employment agencies, university lesbian and gay societies and sixth forms across Britain.
Simon Feeke, Stonewall’s Head of Workplace said:
“Every employer featured in Starting Out and Proud Employers is committed to recruiting the very best talent regardless of their sexual orientation. We know that people perform better when they can be themselves and we hope that these resources will allow lesbian, gay and bisexual people to find an employer where they can really reach their full potential.”
