Ready to Work

The course will help learners develop skills needed in the workplace, including timekeeping, dressing for work and interacting with colleagues. Alongside this, learners will undertake activities designed to build their confidence in dealing with new situations and learning new skills. By the end of the course, learners will have examples of where they have developed new skills, and will have produced a CV, and practiced their interview skills in readiness to seek employment.

The course will include two days a week learning key skills in a classroom, with a third day undertaking simulated work activities. Students will spend this day undertaking practical work activities on the college site, developing skills in Housekeeping, Food and Drink or Warehousing. Visits to other workplaces may be undertaken.

There will also be opportunities to develop independent living skills for those who would benefit from this.

This course is designed to lead to employment. Anyone who successfully completes the course will be guaranteed an interview or work trial with one of our partner employers.

Applications are invited from young adults (19+) without an Education, Health and Care Plan, who are able to travel to Northern College and places of employment. You will be invited to a welcome event where you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and let us know of any support needs.
