and practise different tasks. In addition, you also work towards important
Functional Skills qualifications in maths and English.

us, come to our Open Days or book an appointment to speak with our
friendly tutors.
“‘I am enjoying my Supported
Internship at Shipley College.
The college is local and tutors
are nice which makes my
lessons fun. I have made lots
of friends already. I am looking
forward to starting my work
placement, and would like
to progress but I am unsure
what I would like to do at the
moment.’
