Over the last few months, I have had the privilege of serving as a mentor to a supported intern with autism in our team. This experience has not only transformed their career trajectory but also my perspective on what inclusive hiring truly means. Watching them grow into a valued full-time team member who now bring unique insights to our workshops and day-to-day tasks showed me firsthand how supported internships don't just change individual lives; they enrich entire organisations with talent we've been overlooking for far too long.
