Our specialist Pathways to Learning courses provide opportunities to develop a range of abilities and personal skills for successful performance in working life and to support progression onto Level 1 and 2 courses or into employment. The main aim is to gain new skills, enhance your potential for learning and raise your aspirations whilst making informed choices about future progression routes.
The Construction Pathway provides a practical introduction to a
range of careers within the construction industry. You will gain an
understanding of the sector, its organisations, and job roles while developing
your skills and knowledge through workshop-based projects, health and safety
training, and practical construction tasks. You will also complete units that
build your personal, employability, and workplace skills. The course is designed
to prepare you for progression onto Level 1 programmes in Bricklaying,
Plastering, Carpentry and Joinery, or Painting and
Decorating.
Assessment is carried out through a range of methods, including written assignments, practical activities, role play, presentations, group discussions, diagrams and digital tasks. You will also study English and Maths, take part in work placements, and complete units designed to develop your employability, personal, and social skills.
Successful completion of this course can lead to progression onto
full time courses in Bricklaying, Plastering, or Carpentry and Joinery. The
Prospects Construction Pathway provides the skills, knowledge, and experience
needed to achieve recognised qualifications, progress in further education, and
prepare for employment within the construction
industry.
You will need to purchase appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) for workshop activities and may be asked to contribute towards
the cost of curriculum-related trips and
visits.
