Work and Life Skills

Throughout the academic year, learners will participate in a variety of sessions, in the classroom, their local community and in onsite and offsite work-based training facilities. Our approach to the curriculum is always learner-led, with learners dictating the pace of progression through these activities. All learning activities aim to facilitate skill development in the following areas.

· Employability

· Community

· Independent living skills

· Health and wellbeing.

Essential skills (maths and English) will be embedded into these areas and all courses are designed to focus on developing communication skills and self-advocacy. This is a non-accredited course, allowing learners the opportunity to build skills, knowledge and confidence. Learners will have personalised learning goals based on their long-term aspirations.

You will want to be on a course in order to develop skills for Independent living as well as exploring skills related to employability. You will need to attend an experience day and informal interview before being accepted onto the course.
