WE CAN HELP YOU!

The Transition to Work programmes are for young people who need to develop their social, basic and life skills before progressing on to work, a Level 1 or 2 course or an Apprenticeship. 

The programme focuses on improving your skills. These may include:

•    Functional Skills in Maths, English and ICT
•    Personal and Social Development
•    Employability Skills

You will also have the opportunity to participate in a range of enrichment activities and access appropriate vocational modules from the broader College curriculum.

These may include:

•    Introduction to Care
•    Catering
•    Construction Skills
•    Horticulture
•    Engineering
•    Performing Arts

You will work at your own pace and be at College for up to three days a week. This means you may be able to fit part-time work around your studies too. Most students enrol in September, but there are additional opportunities to join during the year. Call the Faculty of Preparation for Life and Work on 01935 845353 or 01935 845338 for more information.
