Limitless Ambition – Your Career, Your Future 

Our next Careers event is being held online on 19 June 2025, 1pm – 5pm.

Are you considering returning to work after a spinal cord injury? Then take your career to the next level!  

Are you passionate about disability inclusion in the workplace? Then come and listen to speakers to find out what is possible! 

Returning to work after a spinal cord injury can feel daunting. Limitless Ambition – Your Career, Your Future is an online careers event that will demonstrate both that working is possible, despite having had a spinal cord injury and that there is support out there to help people achieve their vocation ambitions. 

Limitless Ambition – Your Career, Your Future is therefore perfect for you!
