What the college says

The course aims to develop and sustain an interest in contemporary issues relating to the health care, social care and related vocational sectors. The focus for these sectors is to give individuals in society more independence, choice and control. This means there is a high demand for well-trained and multi-skilled workers, providing a range of rewarding employment opportunities. Successful completion of the course will enable access into these employment sectors. Furthermore, it will facilitate progression into higher education and further training pathways. It is expected that the course will help to develop transferable skills including those of effective communication, team-working, self-management and independent enquiry; all of which are desirable for employment in any sector and for further study.
