Episode 6: Making Apprenticeships Inclusive
The Learning Co-Lab | Episode 6: Inclusion in Apprenticeships
In this episode of The Learning Co-Lab, the discussion focuses on Inclusion in Apprenticeships—a critical topic in post-16 education. Hosted by Ros Protheroe, Director of Panda Education & Training, the podcast explores the challenges faced by learners with Additional Learning Needs (ALN) and how apprenticeships can become more inclusive.
The conversation covers two key perspectives:
✔️ Employers – How can they promote inclusivity in apprenticeships?
✔️ Assessors – What can they do to ensure their practice is more inclusive?
Co-host Anne Reardon-James, Learning Advisor at Panda Education & Training, also brings her passion for inclusive practice to the discussion. Joining the episode are two expert guests:
🔹 Charlotte Dando – Head of Inclusion and Learner Experience at Cardiff and Vale College
🔹 Nicola Ankin – Disability Consultant and Founder of Inexclusion
Together, they share insights, strategies, and practical advice on making apprenticeships more accessible for all learners.
🎧 Listen now to gain valuable perspectives on inclusion in apprenticeships.
