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.
