Our specialist Pathways to Learning courses help you develop the abilities and personal skills needed for success in work, further study, and progression onto Level 1 and 2 courses or into employment. The main aim is to build new skills, enhance your learning potential, and raise your aspirations while helping you make informed choices about future progression routes. Throughout the course, you will gain valuable transferable skills, build confidence and resilience, strengthen decision making and employability skills, and explore different curriculum areas in a supportive environment to help you make informed choices about your future.
The Prospects Course helps you develop the skills, confidence, and personal qualities needed to progress to Level 1 and Level 2 courses, apprenticeships, or employment. Its aim is to build new skills, enhance your learning potential, and raise your aspirations while supporting informed decisions about future progression.
