Creating Opportunities for Diverse Talent
About us
EDI is a platform providing a central hub for all D and I initiatives. EDI will work with employers, Universities and Schools to ensure that opportunities are communicated across the target audience. Currently there is no one designated space for students to research initiatives or for Universities/schools to sign post students enquiring about D&I opportunities. EDI provides a platform to communicate and engage directly with students, providing a much needed arena for Employers and organisations.
