Work Skills Learning

Service details

Who we are:

Work Skills Learning was established in 2005 and has more than ten years’ experience of working with young people.

Our independent education and training provision is based in Manor House and offers a range of educational opportunities for children and young people aged 16 – 25 who may be facing barriers to their education.

All our learners are valued as individuals, and we use innovative ideas and practices to help them reach their full potential.

We teach our young people in different settings to enable them to develop new skills and gain qualifications that help them move into the world of work.

 


Who we work with:

Our learners - Our setting teaches both male and female students and is aimed at providing a supportive environment for those with difficulties related to:

  • communication and interaction
  • cognition and learning, and/or
  • social, emotional and mental health difficulties

We work with young people who may have a range of learning needs, those who are diagnosed with SEND and those at risk of social exclusion.

Other partners - We work effectively with a range of partners including:

  • parents/carers
  • Youth Offending Teams
  • local colleges
  • local authorities

 


What we do:

  • Work Skills Learning offers individual, personalised courses ranging from vocational to Entry Level and up to GCSE and beyond, tailored to meet young people’s needs.
  • We create a structured programme for our students that takes account of their personal interests and strengths while encouraging them to try new experiences and engage in positive challenges.
  • Work Skills Learning supports young people to become independent learners and thinkers ensuring that they experience success.
  • We can provide full or part time outreach support to schools for young people who are struggling for various reasons, providing short or longer term respite provision.
  • We provide home tuition when required.

 


Progression:

  • Our aim for our student’s success is wider than academic and we place great emphasis on preparation for employment through qualifications such as employability skills and enterprise, as well as providing opportunities for work experience.
  • We work closely with neighbouring colleges to transition young people to continue their education.
  • We help young people to transition to apprenticeships and employment.
  • We work to settle young people with transition to semi-independent and supported living
