Foundation Learning (Entry <strong>To</strong> Level 1)<br />
Transition <strong>To</strong> Work<br />
• Didn’t get the results you wanted<br />
• Don’t have the qualifications to join the course<br />
of your choice<br />
• Got Ds or below at GCSE<br />
• Need to brush up your skills before employment<br />
or an Apprenticeship<br />
We can help you!<br />
The Transition to Work Programme aims to help you improve<br />
your skills so that you can achieve your goals – whether that<br />
is studying a Level 1 or 2 course at <strong>College</strong> or getting a job.<br />
The one year programme focuses on improving your Maths,<br />
English and ICT skills, your personal/social skills and your<br />
work skills.<br />
You will also have the opportunity to participate in your choice<br />
of vocational options. We select the vocational choices each<br />
year according to the need and interest of new learners but<br />
last year they included:<br />
• Introduction to Care<br />
• Catering<br />
• Construction Skills<br />
You will work at your own pace, in an adult environment and be<br />
at <strong>College</strong> for up to three days a week. This means you may be<br />
able to fit part-<strong>time</strong> work around your studies too. Most students<br />
enrol in September, but there are additional opportunities to join<br />
during the year. Call the Faculty of Preparation for Life and Work<br />
on 01935 845353 or 01935 845338 for more information.<br />
