Entry to Work - Multi Skills and Life Skills Pathway

The course is aimed at developing students’ skills around the four preparing for adulthood themes: Independent living skills, community inclusion, good health and employability skills.

Supported work experience opportunities and travel training are built into the course.

This course is for three days a week.

A key part of the course is students accessing the local community, visiting Tesco, Thurmaston Shopping Centre, RSPCA, City Centre and taking part in different leisure activities.

You will develop a celebration folder / progress of skills. At the beginning of the course you will complete a baseline of assessments and from this small progress steps and goals will be set. Work logs, witness statements and completed work will capture your progress with skills.

To access the course you need to show you are working at entry level.

A transition meeting is held at Gateway College with a specialist Connexions Advisor to provide support and guidance about the next steps for each student.
