Pathway to Employment Stage 1 (getting work ready) and Pathway to Employment Stage 2 (Supported Internship).

The course involves three days in college; one of which will be an internal work placement, and two days in the classroom.

Our vision is to support you to be INDEPENDENT, CONFIDENT AND RESILIENT so that you are well-prepared to engage with the wider community. The Pathway 2 Employment course and experiences within it, will most certainly help you to develop in these areas, working towards your chosen aspiration.
