In-Comm Training launches #imincluded diversity campaign

‘I’m In-Comm, I’m Included’ is the message being championed by apprentices, learners and staff at In-Comm Training as they look to break down some of the barriers faced by women, ethnic minorities and hard to engage groups considering an apprenticeship and career in engineering and manufacturing.

The message is featured in the 90-second video below that gives voice to over 15 people from the company’s two technical academies in Aldridge and Telford.

It will be the focal point of a campaign that is calling on individuals, ambassadors and companies to get involved, act on their own inclusivity campaigns and reach out to engage with their communities to tell their story.

The hashtag #imincluded aims to amplify the message across social media channels and plans are afoot to host networking events and a dedicated ‘inclusivity and diversity’ day every year.

In a statement, Bekki Phillips, executive director at In-Comm Training, said: “There have been major strides made, but this is just the start…we want to accelerate the good work and help industry bridge the major skills gap we face by being even more inclusive.”
