10: Joy Lewis - Founder and CEO of AAI EmployAbility
Joy Lewis is the founder and CEO of AAI EmployAbility, the award-winning not-for-profit that is tackling inclusivity and diversity issues in the recruitment market head-on. She witnessed first hand the inequalities that unpaid internships presented for graduates entering the job market, and in 2009 Joy founded AAI (formerly Adopt An Intern) to create accessible job opportunities to people from low-income families. 12 years on and AAI has grown to create opportunities and promote gender and racial diversity within the workplace. Joy shares with us her advice for attracting diverse applicants, the bottom-line benefits of inclusion, and how to push yourself out of your comfort zone.
