Employ the Character- Teach the skills: a simple but effective workshop to demonstrate the ethos behind our 15 year-successful strategy around employing people with disabilities, removing barriers and creating new and exciting routes to employment.
In this workshop, we showcase just one of our 12 programs that we have running presently at WoodMor (Millwood’s own charitable foundation) – Becoming a Beekeeper. This year long program located at BASE member Camphill Wakefield, post-16 Specialist Provision in Wakefield, Yorkshire, is creatively designed to bring out not only the very best in people with disabilities but also to ensure that their employability attributes are fully showcased too.
Matt, Raph and Byran will take the participants on an interactive journey of discovery through the three simple stages in this program to highlight, fully explain and then prove that this approach really does work.
Attending delegates will gain valuable and exciting new initiatives, skills, terminology and confidence around the WoodMor way and, most importantly, will have the opportunity to further discuss their own barriers and boundaries when it comes to starting the journey of conversation with Employers around employing those with disabilities. Participants of the workshop will also gain a small token gift of appreciation upon completion of the workshop - courtesy of Camphill’s very own apiary which they can collect in person from the WoodMor stand after attending the workshop.
Delegates will have the opportunity to discuss employer engagement and will gain an insight into the highly aspirational partnership journey that WoodMor and Camphill Wakefield are undertaking, which places students at the centre of the process, and where employability skills acquisition is gained through an innovative project.
