8 Weeks

Key Skills Development / Consolidation:

Learners will be assessed to ascertain their present ability taking into account existing qualifications and achievements e.g. past exam results and achievements whilst on a Tier 2 e2e programme. This will enable us to ensure they follow an appropriate key skills programme that will be tailored to meet their individual needs to maximise the potential for progression, and facilitate a smooth and timely transition onto an Apprenticeship programme.

Learners will attend structured literacy and numeracy sessions designed to develop their skills as appropriate to the achievement of Key Skills level 1. Learners will also undertake set projects and assignments providing them with opportunities to apply their literacy and numeracy skills, and thus consolidate their learning. Where possible projects and assignments will be set within an appropriate occupational context. Learners will also receive one-to-one support as appropriate to develop their skills to the appropriate level to achieve the qualification.

We have the flexibility to offer paper-based, online and mobile Key Skills testing to meet the needs of individual learners.

Curriculum Enrichment:
E.g. additional advice and guidance, reorientation activities.

Staff are based at both the Halifax and Huddersfield centre with appropriate Advice and Guidance qualifications to whom learners on the Tier 3 programme will have access as appropriate. We also have established links with a wide range of external support agencies including Job Centre Plus, Housing, Connexions PAs and other training providers We have a Counsellor based on site at our Huddersfield centre.

The programme will include a range of vocational awareness raising sessions and activities designed to assist learners in making informed and realistic choices about their future careers in order to plan their next step in training and education. We currently work with a large bank of employers in various sectors including care, childcare, retail and customer service, who will play a key role (in addition to providing placement opportunities) in this element of the programme as a source of information for our learners.

Work Placement Taster Opportunities:

We currently work with a large bank of employers in various sectors including care, childcare, retail and customer service. As part of the Prospects programme learners will undertake work placement tasters of between one and six weeks. As learners are likely to be undecided about their preferred occupational sector they will have the opportunity to undertake more than one work placement taster in more than one occupational sector as appropriate to their individual needs. A formal review will take place with the learner on completion of their first week in a particular placement to establish the way forward for the learner in terms of occupational preferences and further placement opportunities.
