For most the focus is on preparation for adult life. Learning could become more vocational, helping young people identify opportunities for potential employment in the future, and enabling them to develop the skills they will need to be successful. For some the focus will be on improving communication and independent living skills. Most college courses are 3 days per week and other learning programmes are usually 3 or 4 days giving young people time for other activities, outside of education, which could continue into adult life. York Local Offer Information about preparing for adulthood can be found on the Local Offer website: www.yor-ok.org.uk/preparing-for-adulthood Opportunities for young people with learning difficulties and disabilities with Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP) in York now include: • Local Colleges • Applefields Post 16 Provision • Archbishop Holgate’s Sixth Form • Personalised Learning Programmes • Supported Internships • Activities in York – Preparing for Adulthood Specialist Careers Advisers offer advice and guidance to help prepare young people with EHCPs to make choices. We begin by meeting young people and finding out about their aims, hopes and ambitions. We will work alongside families, teaching staff and others who support young people including social workers and health professionals. Students will also have the opportunity to attend open events and taster sessions to support their decision making. Young people with EHCPs may need longer in education or training to support their successful transition into adulthood. Their EHCP can therefore continue whilst they are still in education (including apprenticeships and supported internships). Please note that at the time of going to press the coronavirus pandemic was still impacting education and leisure provision. Some of the content provided in this booklet may be subject to change. Please contact individual providers direct for up to date information. 3 | What’s next? 2020-2021 Local Further Education in York York College A further education and higher education college, with a music development centre, sports development centre, construction and engineering workshops, science labs, a theatre, a restaurant, and a hair and beauty salon. York College aims to ensure that people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities are able to enrol on their chosen course, from Entry Level to Level 3, including A levels; as well as higher education courses, providing they meet the entry criteria for the course. Pathway to Work and Independent Living Programme Young people aged 16-24 can study qualifications from Entry Level 2 to Level 1 and there is help for students who need a personalised approach to meet their individual needs. Pathways includes vocational units, such as preparing for work and a work placement. The independent living units will allow students to manage money, shop and undertake basic food preparation, as well as using public transport. The programme also helps to develop personal, social and communication skills. All students study English and Maths at a level suitable for their needs. The programme is taught in small groups, with high levels of support. Further information on all York College courses is available in their prospectus or online at www.yorkcollege.ac.uk Learning Support ‘Able to Learn’, York College’s disability statement, is available directly from the college or online. This provides further information on the full range of support available to students.

Courses Entry Level Courses in practical countryside skills are for young people who need extra help with learning, offering a mixture of classroom work and hands-on activities. There are four levels from Entry Level 1 to Entry 3.5, each level takes one year. You will cover some of the following topics: • Horticulture and conservation • Animal Care • Agricultural Animals and poultry There are other courses at Level 1, 2 and 3 including stepping stone courses at Level 2 that enable some students to complete a level over two years. For most courses, you will study in college for 3 days per week. If you have not yet achieved a grade 4 in English and maths you will continue to work towards these qualifications either in Functional Skills or GCSE classes. Work experience is a key feature of courses at Level 2 and above to help you to explore career routes within your chosen industry. Learning Support Young People who have an additional learning need or disability can get help from Askham Bryan College. Any student who needs help can get the college’s universal support which could include special exam arrangements, adapted resources (e.g. large print worksheets), or extra help from a tutor. Some, especially those with an EHCP, can get targeted support which could include a person to help in class, someone to meet young people when they arrive at college, someone to help with communication and many other things. It’s important to talk to college about a young person’s needs when they apply.
