Careers

At Inclusion School we understand that everyone has a different starting point and that our learners may need support in working out what they want to do in the future and how to get there. We believe that careers education and a specialist curriculum to help prepare our learners for the future and their working lives is essential to improve their outcomes.

Our Work Skills Advisor at Inclusion School is Amy Robertson. Please contact amy.robertson@inclusionschool.org.uk or call 01256 437 177 if you have any questions or queries about Careers.

Our Careers Advisor is Cathy Smith – cathy.smith@inclusionhampshire.org.uk

We support our learners by:

Developing and nurturing aspirations and expanding horizons for our learners
Building self-esteem
Supporting them to identify their own strengths, skills and interests
Developing the skills, character attributes and values needed for the wider world, such as confidence and resilience.
Identifying opportunities for progression and career development
Supporting them to plan and set goals
Helping our learners to become employment-confident and employment-ready

We do this through:

A dedicated and high quality Work and Employability Skills Curriculum
Skills and learning are underpinned and supported by embedded and cross curricular education
Staff trained in Careers Education and Guidance
Weekly one to one or small groups sessions differentiated to individual need
Positive mentoring relationships between staff and learners
Links with career advisors from referring schools and professional bodies and supporting these appointments.
Regular meetings with learners, parents and referring schools including EHCP and transition meetings

Are you a company wanting to support Careers?

How this works:

Supporting work experience opportunities
Learners are encouraged to access one to one sessions to discuss their individual career pathway.
Education on the different opportunities available to them
Links with colleges and supported traineeships, including supporting transitions and visits from college staff

Personalised, bespoke learner-centred planning for every learner
Early identification and support for learners at risk of becoming NEET (Young people Not In Education, Employment or Training)
Consciously working to prevent all forms of stereotyping in the advice and guidance we provide, to ensure that all learners from all backgrounds and diversity groups consider the widest possible range of careers.

Additional Support:

Hampshire County Council have launched a new free interactive Year 11 career options and activities resource, which has been developed to support learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

This new website will help learners understand the range of options available to them after they finish school and what they need to access them.

The link to the website can be found here: Year 11 Career Options
