Overview

If you need support to move from school to college then this may be the course for you. The course aims to develop your skills and confidence, and help you make a successful transition. It will begin to prepare you for adulthood and progression to further vocational programmes where you will be able to gain more job-related skills. You will work on individual goals which could include handling money, working with others, communication skills (speaking/signing, listening, reading and writing), practical life skills and confidence.
