Life Skills
Pathway

This course is designed for students who have already studied at the college and developed the required skills for working on a Supported Internship.

Typically students will be working at Entry 2, Entry 3 or Level 1. Students must have an aspiration to secure paid employment and be able to self-regulate to an appropriate level for the workplace.

Students on this provision may need support to acquire new skills which can be called upon to facilitate independent working. They will be able to demonstrate a range of work skills e.g. working with others, dealing with problems, following instructions.

Independent travel to and from their place of work is essential. Students with an Educational Health and Care Plan will require a review of their plan to ensure that the college can meet their specific needs and provide a suitable environment for learning.

Students will engage in a range of activities to develop the life skills that will support them in their future as young adults. Sessions include:

• Independent Living Skills – develop the skills needed for independent living, e.g. cooking, cleaning and personal development

• Community – activities within the local community, e.g. visits to the library, coffee shops, community events and local points of interest

• Preparation for Life – identifying and developing useful skills for life after college

• Project – undertake a project aligned to personal development

English and maths skills will be embedded throughout the curriculum and delivered at an appropriate level based on prior attainment.

Progression options outside of college can include:

• Community provision

• 0-25 team

If further progression at college has been identified in-year students can move on to:

• Entry Level 2 Life Skills / Work Skills Pathway

• Next Steps to Community
