Disability Inclusive in Apprenticeships

In March 2021, AHEAD and FIT embarked on a ‘Shared learning experience’. FIT approached AHEAD to build on previous in-house activities, exploring ways to increase access and inclusion to the workplace by enabling people with disabilities to gain a foothold in employment via a tech apprentice pathway.

This engagement’s key goal was for:

• FIT to support AHEAD to better understand apprenticeship model and explore where barriers may exist for participation by people with disabilities.
• AHEAD to support FIT to identify and reduce barriers in application on onboarding processes into the aforementioned tech apprenticeship programmes and explore opportunities for embedding inclusive practice.
