Glasgow Senior Phase Prospectus 2016/17 Levels 4 - 7 Dear Colleagues, I’m delighted to present the latest edition of our Senior Phase Prospectus for 2016/17 which has been compiled by Glasgow City Council Education Services in collaboration with all three of Glasgow’s Colleges – City of Glasgow College, Glasgow Clyde Welcome College and Glasgow Kelvin College. The portfolio of provision represents our most ambitious and varied set of courses and qualifications to date. It has been designed in consultation with businesses from across the city to ensure that we give students the opportunity to gain the qualifications, skills and experience they need to flourish as part of Glasgow’s growing economy. Baillie Liz Cameron Courses contained within two publications focus on SCQF Executive Member for Levels 1-3 and SCQF Levels 4-7, offering a diverse range of Children, Young People and industry recognised qualifications to pupils in S4- S6, the senior Life Long Learning phase of their secondary education. It is intended that pupils will participate in these courses alongside national qualifications delivered by schools, enriching the learning experiences and outcomes available. This year there will be renewed emphasis in collaborating with employers, to enhance features of workplace learning as part of many of the courses available. Individual units, group awards and full certificates of learning are now available as discreet packages for pupils to use as building blocks for their future careers. Vocational pathways in industry areas including science, technology and engineering; hospitality and food preparation; financial services and business administration; construction; creative; social and health care occupations are continuing to expand thanks to commitment of our school, college and industry partners. Provision is designed to be fully inclusive and will provide support to ensure that young people from all backgrounds and with individual needs are able to access courses which reflect their aspirations and abilities. The breadth and depth of the courses and support offered through the partnership illustrates our schools’ and colleges’ shared objective to securing a bright, fulfilled future for every one of our young people as they pursue their ambitions and embark upon the transition from school to young adulthood. I look forward to seeing many of them commence this journey in 2016.
