making space for disabled talent

Making Space & the Ascend Fellowship gave me the confidence to pursue and land my first full-time job in three and a half years!! Which still feels surreal to say out loud. Before finding this community, I had given up hope of ever finding work again, but being part of Making Space changed that. I now have the tools to navigate the workplace, and advocate for myself in ways I didn't think were possible before.”

Making Space is straight to the point, insightful, accessible, and gives insight that you wouldn't find anywhere else. The courses I took were really well-done, accessibility has been amazing, better than anything I have ever found previously, it even includes a toggle for an ASL Interpreter has been helpful. It's been well-thought out in mind for those with disabilities and has been very easy to navigate. I love this platform and community"

From the moment you log in, it's clear Making Space was built differently, the platform is intuitive and accessible by default. The content is really thoughtful, high-quality, and designed by people who understand the subject from the inside out. Very gratful for Making Space!

Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity! There are so many great pieces of information on this platform that make me confident I can pursue the line of work I want to!

The Making Space team are doing an outstanding job of blending disability etiquette with industry training. Well done!

It means so much to see a platform where disabled creators lead both the training content and the job board itself. The result is something other platforms consistently miss, videos and opportunities that reflect how disabled professionals actually experience work. Thank you.

What an enlightening process joining this platform has been! Each step has been a treasure trove of insights and advice. The guidance provided will undoubtedly serve as a valuable resource to revisit time and again. On the Netflix course, the support with crafting a showreel was particularly impactful. It demystified the process and instilled confidence that even without traditional experience, there are innovative ways to showcase my ability.

Each episode proved to be fantastic, and I must express my genuine appreciation for the inclusive project.

I don't know how often I have re-watched the courses and will continue re-watching them. I have been taking my time and adding some of these teachings into my work in my existing role and I am seeing much better results and a higher level of work. Thank you so much for putting this course together it has opened my eyes to the potential there is within what I do and how to have a bigger and better impact.

Thanks so much to the Making Space team for putting this together and sharing the wealth of knowledge. This is how we rise up! By ending the power of gatekeeping. Thanks again.

I am truly taking away a sense of empowerment and a sense of finding community here at Making Space.

Having dyslexia and audio processing issues made school challenging, but discovering content I'm passionate about changed everything. Learning through videos, colorful PDFs, and notes that suit my learning needs has been a game-changer. I deeply appreciate the support and understanding from Making Space. Their kindness and respect have made a significant difference, and I'm thankful to be a part of this journey.

Wow! Such a deep and insightful REAL discussion about the power of creativity. We need to have more experiences shared about the journey to discovering our individual paths to success while overcoming the many obstacles of life. This episode needs an award itself!
