Future Voices: Career Conversations (Episode 1) | Careers, Inclusion & AI with Becca, Lucy, Tom and Celina

The first episode of Future Voices: Career Conversations launches a podcast series focused on inspiring young neurodivergent and disabled people and supporting families and professionals to champion their career aspirations, sponsored by Warburtons. Host Becca (Inclusive Change) is joined by Celina (HR masters student with cerebral palsy and neurodiversity), Lucy (Inclusive Change mentoring), and Tom (college acting student) to discuss careers education experiences, uncertainty about career paths, and the need for more options and better support beyond the “good grades then uni” narrative. Celina shares how accessibility barriers, intense working culture, and low disability hiring statistics in law influenced her confidence despite earning a first-class law degree, while Lucy describes needing step-by-step support and volunteering to build confidence. The panel also explores how AI may affect careers, including acting, with concerns about AI enhancing accents in film.
