Foundation Learning

The latest in vocational learning opportunities, Foundation Learning is available to people aged 16-18 who are unable or unready to enter further education, training or employment. Flexible and supportive, this programme allows us to help you make a smooth transition from school to employment by providing you with tailored vocational tasters (Work Placement) and personal development sessions, including Basic/Key Skills support if appropriate. Your local Connexions centre will be your first point of call if you are interested in joining a Foundation Learning programme.

Apprenticeship Programmes

If you are aged 16 or over, apprenticeships enable you to earn and learn through a combination of vocational training and off-site education, complemented by Basic/Key Skills training as appropriate. Covering a wide range of industry sectors - from Social Care to Construction - this programme also strengthens local businesses and results in regional regeneration. Two programmes are available:

Apprenticeships

Lasting at least one year, these programmes usually work towards NVQ Level 2 and Key Skills qualifications, as well as technical certificates like BTEC or City & Guilds.
