Preparing for Employment Vocational Pathway

This course is aimed at learners who have an inclusion need. It focuses on developing work skills and meeting the needs and ambitions of each individual learner.

You need Entry Level 1 in Maths and/or English.

It is expected that learners will want to continue studying and developing their skills in English and maths, while taking a pathway towards employment. Places are allocated on an individual basis, following an interview and initial assessment. All learners will have a learning difficulty/disability.

Within this three-day (full-time) pathway, learners will work towards developing Functional English and Maths skills, Preparation for Adulthood and work skills and will start to gain work skills experience through a placement.

You will continue to study English and maths, will take part in a tutorial and enrichment activities, and will develop skills for employment.

You need money for lunch and breaks. You will be asked to make a voluntary contribution to trips throughout the year.

If appropriate, learners will sit a Functional English and Maths exam and complete an AIM Award in Employability Skills which is portfolio based. Learners will be set RARPA targets that are reviewed every half term.

You could consider other vocational learning options with Derby College Group, a Supported Internship or employment.
