Study Programmes
Work Experience is really important as it gives you an idea of what working life is like in your chosen career.
It also shows you why your training is so important and gives you an insight into some of the other skills you might need to work on; like confidence, IT and organising yourself effectively.
On some courses students take part in Extended Industry Placements.
This involves spending much more time in the workplace with employers meaning you’ll be even better prepared when you leave us.
You will have to take some responsibility for organising your work experience, but we also have a team to support you.
Our aim is to improve yourliteracy and numeracy skills while you are with us to make sure you are career ready.
This may mean you re-sitting your GCSEs in these subjects to try and get a better grade, or taking a Functional Skills course.
We’ll give you an assessment when you start your course to figure out the best option for you.
Tutorials are some space and time away from your normal lessons to work on your career-ready skills.
You will work with tutors to set targets to aim for, figure out if you need any extra support and get help with organising work experience.
Tutorials also focus on additional skills you might need to succeed and often involve local employers giving guest talks so you can find out more about your career of choice.
