Who is this for?

The Vocational Pathways course prepares students for further education or the workplace. It includes meaningful vocational sessions and a Level 1 Qualification in employability skills. Through practical projects, students build confidence, develop literacy and numeracy, and gain skills relevant to today’s job market. The pathway is also designed to allow students to build confidence and have a successful transition to full time study programmes the following year. Alongside Functional Skills or GCSE English and Maths, students develop the attitudes and behaviours essential for success, equipping them to make informed choices about their next steps.

What does this look like?

  • A personalised curriculum tailored to each student’s abilities and aspirations
  • Focus on practical life skills, work readiness, teamwork and communication, confidence building, goals and aspirations and hands on vocational experience
  • Curriculum sequenced to scaffold learning across the year
  • A Level 1 employability qualification

Progression:

  • Level 1 or Level 2 study programme (M&E dependent)
  • Transition into further education or employment
  • Apprenticeship
