NEW: Supported Internships – Available now
As we look to increase what we offer at EMA for our young people, we’re pleased to be bringing EMA Supported Internships to our campuses, a practical way to develop your skills in our unique environments. Available at both campuses now.
New Hospitality Courses in collaboration with The CTH
Our new range of hospitality courses in collaboration with The Confederation of Tourism and Hospitality are available now. With both classroom and real world hospitality settings in the form of cafés open to the public, our unique environments are proven to help build confidence, skills, and support students on the journey to independence and a career.
Gillingham Campus Spotlight
We open the doors to our EMA Gillingham campus in this new spotlight video. Hear from staff and students about what it’s like to learn and work at the site, along with how we cater to the needs of young people who choose to take the next steps in their journey with us.
From the classroom, to the café, shop, and glasshouse, EMA’s campus at Thorngrove Garden Centre continues to develop into a unique place to learn and gain valuable work experience.
With sites in Gillingham and Moreton, Employ My Ability provides a unique environment of hospitality, horticultural and retail facilities that help students with learning disabilities and Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) develop vital skills, expertise and confidence. We offer strong vocational qualifications alongside real, hands-on work experience which enables our students to leave us with a clear pathway into employment within the local community.

Education and Adult Social Care are at the heart of EMA, with supported living and day services, all linked to the same environment that students complete their studies. This shared environment between our students, service users, and the public creates two of the most diverse and unique locations in Dorset to serve and support young people and adults.
