Consider the following questions 2. Where do I want 1. Where do I to live? want to be in 10 years? 4. Will I want to socialise and have 3. What car interests? will I want to drive? 5. How much money will I want to be earning to afford the above? 6. Now think about all the things you’ll need to do, in order to reach that goal? The Vocational Progression Routes Toolkit – Learner Booklet The Vocational Progression Routes Project - 2 - Case Study: Rachel Howard Rachel was unsure of what she wanted to do when she left school and on the day she received her GCSEs headed to St Helens College to see what they had to offer. Rachel started a Fashion and Textiles course but soon realised it wasn’t for her. Rachel wanted to earn a wage so with the help of her Connexions advisor she secured a place on a Business Administration Apprenticeship, with a placement at St Helens Council. Half way through her Apprenticeship she secured a job with St Helens College as Administrator for Clerk to the Corporation. Rachel went on to complete her Advanced Apprenticeship. In 2005/2006 St Helens College ran a “Careers Champion Project” using Aimhigher funding. Rachel was allocated a champion within her field of administration, the mentor’s aim was to guide Rachel through her Apprenticeship but also to look at what progression routes were open to her. Rachel was undecided whether to continue down the administration route and undertook an Access to Higher Education course in teaching and learning, this has enabled her to be accepted onto a part time degree. Once Rachel has successfully completed her degree she hopes to go to a local university to undertake a PGCE, this will enable her to become a Primary school teacher. Rachel prefers part time education as she has always earned a wage whilst she has been studying and will continue to do so. Earn while you learn is a route many vocational learners are choosing as a successful career path The Vocational Progression Routes Toolkit – Learner Booklet The Vocational Progression Routes Project - 3 - Case Study: Phil Caton Phil Caton is 25 years old and works as a Senior Telecommunications Officer at St Helens College. On leaving school in 1998 Phil started on an Apprenticeship programme at St Helens College in Software Engineering aged 17. At the time Phil was working as a Computer Support Officer within the I.T Department, so he was working full time and attending College 1 day a week to complete an NVQ. This enabled Phil to earn a wage as well as working towards a nationally recognised qualification. On completion of his Apprenticeship Phil progressed onto his Advanced Apprenticeship and this was also combined with a HNC in software engineering. Again Phil achieved these programmes along with his key skills. Since completing the Apprenticeship programme Phil has continued to study part-time and has completed a HNC and HND in Telecommunications which on completion opened up a new career path within the College as he is now working as a senior telecommunications officer. Phil is currently looking at further options to continue studying part-time as he feels further progression would help his future career prospects. Case Study: Amanda Johnston Amanda Johnston is a Sales Co-ordinator at the Village Hotel in Bromborough. “When I left school, I went to Wirral Metropolitan College for 2 years for the National Diploma in Hospitality Supervision. My work experience placement was at a local hotel. On completion, I was offered a job on reception where I worked for 2 years. I progressed to Shift Leader and then to the Sales Team. I continued at Wirral Metropolitan College and completed the Higher National Diploma in Hospitality Management. I chose to do a work placement in Greece where I stayed for 4 months. I worked in a restaurant, serving food and drink and training the other staff. I then returned to Wirral and completed my qualification. I think it is important to motivate yourself to complete work at College. In my present position as Sales Co-ordinator, I take bookings for conferences, banqueting and weddings. I also liaise with the customers and work on special events that we run in the hotel. My advice to other young people is: It is important to ask about all the options after GCSE exams. A- Levels don’t suit everyone. Work experience can help you decide what you want to do.” The Vocational Progression Routes Toolkit – Learner Booklet The Vocational Progression Routes Project - 4 - Making the transition from further education (FE) to higher education (HE) Any qualification that is graded at Level 4 or above is classed as higher education.

Most part time courses run at a college can usually be applied for directly to the college, cutting out UCAS. A full application form including personal statement will still need to be completed. The UCAS Tariff is a points system, which is used to display the entry requirements for particular courses. In recent times the index of qualifications that attract points under the UCAS Tariff has dramatically expanded, in order to include the new types of qualifications, which can be gained, particularly vocational ones (Apprenticeships will be included from 2007). Each UCAS approved post 16 qualification and grade is allocated a points’ value and entry requirements are illustrated as points. The full up-to-date tariff illustrations are available on the UCAS website.

Introduction St Helens College merged with Knowsley Community College in December 2017 and is currently trading as SK College Group. University Centre St Helens is the branding name used to cover the higher education provision at both campuses. Based in the heart of the Northwest, UCSH is in an ideal location with strong transport links and just 20–30 minutes from both Liverpool and Manchester city centres. The merger with Knowsley Community College, brings with it increased opportunities for local progression to higher education, along with increased specialist resources and staff expertise. This commitment to the continued development of HE in St Helens and the growth of HE opportunities in Knowsley was identified as a key feature of the merger and welcomed by both the local and business communities to raise aspirations and levels of skill in each borough. The College Group’s Higher Education Strategy takes account of national policies relating to Widening Participation and articulates the College Group’s plans for stimulating demand in HE, in what is a more student–led market, and to meet regional and local workforce development needs through a more innovative curriculum and a revised marketing approach. The Strategy also sets out a plan for maintaining the current success and satisfaction rates and increasing the emphasis on progression and employability.

  • North West Introduction the North West Has an Area of Around 14,100 Km2 and a Population of Almost 6.9 Million
    North West Introduction The North West has an area of around 14,100 km2 and a population of almost 6.9 million. The metropolitan areas of Greater Manchester and Merseyside are the most significant centres of population; other major urban areas include Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 490 people per km2, making the North West the most densely populated region outside London. This population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region; Cumbria in the north has just 24 people per km2. The economy The economic output of the North West is almost £119 billion, which represents 13 per cent of the total UK gross value added (GVA), the third largest of the nine English regions. The region is very varied economically: most of its wealth is created in the heavily populated southern areas. The unemployment rate stood at 7.5 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with the UK rate of 7.9 per cent. The North West made the highest contribution to the UK’s manufacturing industry GVA, 13 per cent of the total in 2008. It was responsible for 39 per cent of the UK’s GVA from the manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel, and 21 per cent of UK manufacture of chemicals, chemical products and man-made fibres. It is also one of the main contributors to food products, beverages, tobacco and transport equipment manufacture. Gross disposable household income (GDHI) of North West residents was one of the lowest in the country, at £13,800 per head.

Economic development The economic output of the North-West is around £78 billion, which is 10 per cent of the total UK GDP. The region is very varied economically, with most of its wealth created in the heavily populated southern areas.
