Course List
- Into College or Work
If you are starting out at college and need some support the Into College or Work course might be for you. We will work with you so that we can support you to successfully move from school to college. You will have the chance to explore different options on your course so that you know and can plan what you want to do next.
- Pathway to Work (Supported Internship)
The course is based at work but you will spend the first 8-10 weeks in college so that we can make sure that you are prepared for your placement and have the skills you need to be confident to start work.
When you start work you will go every day but will start and end the day at college so that you can continue to develop your employability skills and can review your progress at work. We have placements with a range of organisations across different industries and will work with you to decide which would be the best employer and role for you.
