Personal development – During placements students develop their essential communication and inter-personal skills alongside continual studies of digital, maths and English skills. Tailored support - Learners are fully supported at the start of their work placement and gradually offered less support as they progress, so they become more independent through the systematic training carried out by the job coach. Discover next steps – Throughout the programme students will develop their understanding of career options, search for jobs, prepare for interviews so they feel confident in their next steps after completing the programme.
