Supporting individuals and employers to make the world more inclusive for those with neurodiverse conditions
About us
Practical Matters CIC was set up in February 2021 to support those with hidden/ invisible conditions to become more independent in the practical side of life. We support individuals with all aspects of volunteering, employment and financial budgeting. Since starting out we have expanded our support to help employers to hire people with neurodiverse, hidden or invisible conditions through our training course, recruitment agency work and consultancy. Our vision is to have a future where people with hidden/ invisible conditions are empowered to lead independent lives.

If you are 19 or older and would like support with everything to do with gaining employment (think CV's, cover letters, job applications and interview skills) then our workshops are the place for you. We will be running these workshops across Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough and Rushden as long as there are enough people attending. There are no ice-breakers or group activities and you can bring a friend too! It's all about being as comfortable as possible. We will be making a CV and cover letter live as part of the learning and will be available for some one-to-one work to help make sure that you get the most from these sessions. Did I mention that there will be refreshments and a goodie bag too? So, if you want to attend or have any questions then please get in touch with us at [email protected] #EmployabilitySkills #CareerDevelopment #WorkplaceSuccess #JobSkills #FutureReady #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalSkills #JobReadiness #SkillsForSuccess #SoftSkills #InterviewPrep #ResumeTips #CareerCoaching #JobSearchTips #CareerWorkshops #BoostYourCareer #SkillUp #WorkplaceReadiness
