Home / Inclusive Employability

One of I-STEP’s four core areas

Inclusive Employability

Inclusive Employability develops inclusive connections between learning, opportunity and work.

Inclusive by design

Inclusive means recognising potential beyond formal credentials and creating fairer pathways into meaningful employment for people with different experiences and backgrounds.

Inclusive Employability strengthens the connection between learning, capability and opportunity, helping people translate what they know and can do into meaningful employment and professional development.

What this area covers

Capability does not become opportunity on its own. Inclusive Employability works on the connection: mentoring, career guidance, competence validation, and the routes between what a person can do and the work available to them. It pays particular attention to the people for whom the standard route does not function, because of where they live, how they learned, what their documents say, or what an employer assumes about them.

Who it is for

Career practitioners, mentors, employers, employment services, educational organisations and professionals supporting transitions into work.

What members can develop together

Mentoring models Guidance resources Competence validation approaches Transition frameworks Employer engagement practices Tools that connect capability with opportunity
