The curriculum consists of developing workplace skills, social and independence skills as well as more 'academic' basic skills such as literacy, numeracy and IT. It also offers a range of healthy living and sports activities.
Skills are put into practice in a number of different ways: classroom based training sessions alternate with work experience placements, activities in the community, volunteering opportunities and end-of-term day trips.
Person-centred approach
Each student has an individual in-take interview. If the project is mutually assessed to be suitable an individual introduction path is mapped out to guide them into the project. From there an individual learning plan is developed according to the student's own interests and learning pace.
Learning sessions consist of small group sessions and sessions with individual mentors.
The project offers clear set structures but also a great deal of flexibility to ensure each person can work at their own pace.
