What the college says

This course is a personalised programme with a focus on preparation for the future beyond college, specialising in retail and administration. It is based around practical skills preparing individuals for employment in the retail vocational area and focuses on their transition away from the college environment and into the world of work, culminating with an accredited Gateway Employability entry qualification ( award or certificate) at entry 2 or 3. All course work will be integrated into college enterprises or supported work placement. Students on this course are responsible for the Amazing Crates milk delivery round and day to day running of Scribbles, the college's stationery shop. Tasks include till work, stock replenishment and general cleaning. Customer interaction enables students to improve their communication and customer service skills and generally boost self esteem/confidence. Working in Scribbles raises awareness of the importance of preparation and planning, money management and personal presentation. Alongside the practical timetable there are sessions for students to work on their existing English, Maths and ICT Functional Skills. The course takes place over three days per week. Work placements can be arranged.
