You maintain contact with internship companies, arrange the right match and support students during their route. This makes you an important link between education and the job market and you have an impact on the opportunities and experiences of all students.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inclusive education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Internships accessible to all.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every student steps into an internship site naturally. Students with support needs may experience barriers, such as a non-accessible work environment or unclear guidance. You ensure that these students also get a fair chance at an appropriate learning place. Through coordination, customization and good communication, you make inclusive education possible outside of school as well.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ecio.nl\/en\/inclusive-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more about inclusive education<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ecio.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/?_filter_domein=begeleiding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more about counseling<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ecio.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/?_filter_domein=voorzieningen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more about provisions<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ecio.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/\">Getting started with inclusive education<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Career guidance and orientation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Internships are often the first real contact with professional practice. You help students to make that experience valuable: as a place to learn and as a stepping stone to employment. Through good supervision and cooperation with the professional field, you ensure that students gain insight into their qualities, learning points and possibilities. In this way, you contribute to career development that goes beyond an internship.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ecio.nl\/en\/inclusive-internships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more about inclusive internships<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ecio.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/?_filter_domein=stages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Getting started with inclusive internships<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ecio.nl\/en\/from-education-to-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more about inclusive to work<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ecio.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/?_filter_domein=overstap-naar-werk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Getting started with an inclusive transition to work<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ecio.nl\/en\/knowledge-base\/?_post_type=project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out the projects as a boost to your students<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Student Wellbeing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;A safe internship is more learning fun.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pleasant and safe internship environment is important for the wellbeing of students.
