KIT 3: Workplace strategies for the inclusion of the graduates
Building on the preparation achieved with Kits 1 and 2, Kit 3 carries the scaffolding into the workplace and aligns school, employer and learner so that support does not stop on the first day of the job. Its three practical tools—plus one worked example—move users from an initial three-party agreement to a rhythm of structured observation and monthly review. In this way the kit delivers the Good Job! objective of “supporting policies within training institutions and workplaces for the transition of the target group from school to adulthood and work”, turning inclusion from aspiration into everyday practice and keeping the employer, learner and Transition Mentor continuously aligned.
Step 1 –Sign the Collaboration Agreement
Begin by completing the school-Employer-Mentee Collaboration Agreement. This plain-language guide sets shared goals, clarifies each party’s responsibilities, fixes meeting frequencies and lists any reasonable adjustments the workplace will provide. The form doubles as a safeguarding document: it includes a conflict-resolution protocol and preferred communication methods, so issues are channelled quickly to the right person.
Step 2 – Track Progress with the Employer Mentoring Form
Once the agreement is in place, the workplace mentor uses this rating sheet to record the learner’s performance and wellbeing. The form covers punctuality, task-switching, rule-keeping, communication and impact on co-workers, each scored on a five-point scale with space for narrative comments. Completing it periodically ensures emerging concerns are flagged before they become problems.
Step 3 – Hold a Monthly Tri-Partite Meeting
Every four weeks the Transition Mentor, the learner and the employer meet to celebrate highs, unpick lows and set fresh targets. Use the Monthly Meeting Form to structure the conversation: note top moments, analyse challenges, agree solutions and log suggestions from all three voices. The mentor schedules these sessions at the outset and brings blank copies for everyone to complete.
Consult the worked example to see the level of detail expected. It shows how a communication breakdown was logged, analysed and translated into a clear action (single-point instructions via the mentor), demonstrating the problem-solving mindset the toolkit promotes
