BTEC College of the Year 2018 Sixth Form College Alternative Education 16-19 Study Programmes • Aim to provide useful qualifications whilst also preparing participants for the world of work through work experience placements / projects with a view to progressing into employment, traineeship/apprenticeship or further education. • The programme is tailored to the participants needs, so whether you need support in overcoming a personal challenge, are unhappy with your grades this summer or just really keen to start learning the skills needed to succeed in the workplace, it can help you. • There are lots of training providers to choose from depending on where you live so it’s worth chatting to them all and finding out which one suits you, as some may be specialists in your chosen career, such as mechanics or childcare, whereas others may work more with you on projects to help build your self-confidence. • You need to also ask the training provider about the bursary. This is money to cover travel and food costs, and it varies from place to place. If you are not able to take part in work experience or you prefer to study for qualifications, you may still be able to be part in the study programme, but you need to ask training providers if this is something that worries you, as only certain training providers can offer certain qualifications. • You may also study functional skills in English and Maths if you didn’t achieve these at GCSE level. You can then choose to attempt your GCSEs again. A levels also count as part of the study programme if the provider can offer these. • The programme can support you with maintaining or getting into a routine and places you in a real work environment where you will work with other people and deal with customers – making you more employable.
