How you'll learn and be assessed
You will be visited in your workplace on a regular basis by staff to offer you support, job coaching or help resolving any issues that you might have. This programme is suitable for you if you want to work and have an EHCP.
Progression
You won’t always work towards a qualification depending on the employer you are placed with. You will work towards your functional skills or GSCEs, if appropriate, based on assessments.
You will also be developing your attributes from individual starting points, which are tracked and monitored in a variety of ways including Recognising and Recording Progress and (RARPA). Individual targets are negotiated and set with you, employers and therapists, where appropriate.
Progression will be explored at an annual review. You will move on to a supported employment course.
Entry requirements
There are no formal entry requirements for this programme. A school/college report and an EHCP may be a requirement, based on your support needs. Your suitability for the programme will be determined by our staff after you have attended a taster experience.
We are looking for young people with an enthusiasm to learn and a desire to make progress. We want applicants to actively take part in keep warm activities set by teachers before starting in September
