Work related learning
At St Elizabeth's College, vocational learning opportunities are an integral element of the
curriculum offer. We work closely with external partners to enable learners to have a
diverse range of work-related learning activities available to them.
Learners gain units of qualifications through these learning environments which help build
a 8passport9 to take with them when they transition from the College.
The College have close working arrangements with Services for Young People and as a
result, we have an Information, Advice and Guidance Coordinator come in for 20 days a
year. Our Coordinator is a specialist in supporting young people with Special Educational
Needs, and holds 1:1s with the learners as well as working with families to discuss
options and links with their local authorities. The Coordinator works alongside the
lecturers, goes into classrooms and supports those who want to develop their CVs, all
while offering impartial advice to support their transition. The aim is to help learners
realise their goals and aspirations and to live more independently.
Using this information, we have secured a number of work experience placements within
local businesses and are continuing to progress this important part of our curriculum.
