This programme is designed to assist students onto mainstream further education or employment programmes, including supported internships. Learners are engaged in personal and social development, as well as employability skills, creative enterprise and community-based projects. There are three strands to this programme including work, enterprise and independence. You will have opportunities to take part in work experience placements in groups or as individuals. Many students also participate in vocational subject specific tasters across the College during their study programme.

This programme runs over three college days each week for 36 weeks during term time.

How will it be delivered and assessed?

You will complete a portfolio of work which will be assessed and you will have the opportunity to achieve a nationally recognised qualification. You will also take formal assessments in English and Maths.

Entry requirements

In addition to the entry qualifications listed, the offer of a place on the course is subject to the outcomes of initial assessment, which will be taken at the College as part of the admissions process. Please note that entry criteria may vary quite significantly between courses at the same level. This is to take account of the specific skills needed for success on particular courses, the length of the course and the requirements for progression to the next level. Entry criteria are given as a guide, and the exact requirements in order to obtain a place on a particular course will be confirmed following attendance at a Welcome Event/Interview.
