Whether students are aiming for
We embed careers and employability skills into every aspect of the college experience.
Through 1:1 careers guidance, access to vocational options, and practical workplace experiences, learners begin to explore their interests and develop the skills that matter most, from communication and teamwork to time management and resilience.
Our team works closely with local employers and education providers to create opportunities that match our students’ aspirations and strengths, including:
Inclusion College also supports students to move into longer-term progression opportunities, whether that’s stepping into a local college course or our own Inclusion EB8 Employability Provision, based in Basing view, Basingstoke.
Inclusion EB8 offers a structured employability and personal development programme, based in another site, for 16–25-year-olds with additional needs or Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
Many of our Inclusion College students choose to transition to Inclusion EB8 to truly begin developing their workplace confidence, build independent skills, look into further education or access work placements and job opportunities with tailored support.
From first steps in the classroom at Inclusion College to a supported transition into adulthood with Inclusion EB8, we are committed to building futures that are ambitious, achievable, and rooted in every young person’s potential.
If you are an Employer interested in working with us, you can do this in several ways. We are always willing to talk to organisations that can offer experiences of the workplace, such as work shadowing; work experience and work placements; interview skills practice and career talks about their industries and their individual careers.
Working closely with local business, organisations and employers, we hope to want to introduce our students to a wealth of experience and potential opportunities which can support their skills and knowledge on their employment journey.
To discuss future opportunities then please do contact Head of EB8, Alex Edwards at alex.edwards@eb8basingstoke.org.uk
We encourage every member of staff to participate in the programme to help guide, advise and support our students for the next stage of their journey and if there is anything that you would like to see added to the programme, then please get in touch with the Careers Lead, Alex Edwards.
Part of the ethos for us at Inclusion Education, which runs through all of our settings is the idea that we are a true community, with all staff working together to support our students and learners.
