Employment for a powered wheelchair user

The last 3 years I have been applying for jobs and I get interviews but then they see my wheelchair and I don’t get the job.
I really want to work
this is how much I want a job: last June I started a YouTube channel called Wheelchair Fun https://instabio.cc/Wheelchairfun
i just want to educate people about disabilities especially powered wheelchair users and Cerebral Palsy .

The job centre have disability work coaches who may be able to help and as suggested the scope work programme
What sort of work are you wanting to do and do you have any work experience
Do you have a Lawyer?
As Lisa mentioned, Scope have a couple of employment services. Have you ever heard of our Support to Work service? I'd definitely recommend that you look into it to find out if you're eligible.
I'd also be interested to know what kind of work you're interested in, so please do let us know.

I applied last year to go to Hillsborough College to resit GCSE Maths, and they said there was no funding for a disabled guy my age and it was a full cost course, can't remember exactly how much but it wasn't cheap.
Re-sitting GCSE's can be expensive unfortunately, but try not to let it deter you. If you speak to your local college's Disability Service they will be able to inform you of any entitlement based on your individual circumstances, while this Funding for disabled students webpage lists funding streams you could apply to too. Online learning is increasingly popular, and if you need any help sourcing a reputable education provider please let us know. All the best with your career goals! You can do it
