More information about this Course
Course Overview
This programme is designed to meet the needs of people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities supported by an Education Health and Care Plan. The range of difficulties may include students with learning difficulties, communication and emotional difficulties, physical difficulties, autism and ADHD. This study programme will offer you the opportunity to work alongside real employees within a work placement that has been individually sourced for you. In addition, you will study units of work designed to give insight into what it takes to be a successful employee. The work placement will be tailored to your needs, and you will be supported all the way by a team of staff at the college including job coaches, and learning support assistants. In addition to your work placement, you will study alongside students from the Pathways to Employment course covering units of work such as: understanding your pay and conditions, the role of unions in the workplace and effective communication in the workplace.

What Qualifications Or Experience Do I Need?

What Will I Learn?
As well as developing skills in Maths and English and in addition to your work placement, you will study alongside students from the Pathways to Employment course covering units of work such as: understanding your pay and conditions, the role of unions in the workplace and effective communication in the workplace. You will also be given the opportunity to develop your access skills including reading, handwriting and spelling. There will be discrete opportunities for you to work towards personal objectives to achieve your goals.
|
How Will I Learn?
Unlike a work experience placement, the student will be supported by a Job Coach throughout the internship. The Job Coach will liaise with the employer and work alongside the intern to help them learn their role and become an effective member of their team.
You will also be assessed through the RARPA system of non-accredited learning. RARPA stands for Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement. Through initial assessment, a starting point will be established. You will be given five objectives which you will work towards through set skills within each of the units of work you study.
At the end of your course, your achievements will be celebrated and you will receive your very own Passport to Excellence. This folder will be a record of all of your achievements within the course, and will also contain references from all of the tutors and other adults that you work with.
