At Carnival UK we’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can bring their whole selves to work and everyone is welcome, no matter how they identify. We’re also committed to creating opportunities for personal and professional development, and support our people to have unforgettable careers.
As an inclusive employer, we’re proud to support the LGBT+ community, not only through our Belonging and Inclusion agenda, but through Spectrum, our LGBT+ & Friends employee-led network.
This weekend P&O Cruises, with the support of Spectrum, is sponsoring National Student Pride, the largest LGBT+ careers event in the UK. Colleagues from both P&O Cruises Guest Experience and Spectrum are also attending the careers fair, promoting the amazing opportunities a career at sea can bring.
National Student Pride is a not for profit organisation run by students and graduates. It began in 2005 in response to the Oxford Brookes Christian Union’s talk on ‘Homosexuality and the Bible’ and, unlike most pride events, centres around daytime debates and a careers fair. From 2009 – 2013 the event grew and flourished in Brighton before moving to London in 2014. This year National Student Pride is celebrating its 15th anniversary!
National Student Pride’s mission is:
- To provide a platform for debate, discussion and conversation
- To be a networked community, linking students, graduates, and LGBT+ friendly employers
- To propel the next generation of voices, activists and minds where they can be heard and celebrated
- To promote an atmosphere of tolerance, opportunity and innovation by allowing room for debate and discussion
- To be a safe space to allow for growth in confidence, socialising and education
