COURSE

OVERVIEW

The programme delivers a personalised, inclusive and safe learning environment where you will find your learning challenging, enjoyable and thought-provoking. A strong focus on personal goals and how to overcome barriers to learning will be embedded in all aspects of the course.
Xplorer learners will underpin careers guidance for future career progression, learn about sources of help and support, learn to identify their own strengths, skills, qualities and interpersonal skills and learn to work independently and as part of a team. Xplorer learners will also learn how to recognise their own behaviours in uncomfortable/challenging situations.
You will work independently and as part of a team on a variety of social enterprise and charity activities to develop yourself in readiness for life and work. This will include participating in college and community events, using a kitchen space to budget and prepare meals and running a small business.
The Xplorer programme is designed to meet the individual needs of students with a strong emphasis on developing personal, social, emotional and employability skills. The team offer a unique opportunity for learners with social, emotional or mental health needs to engage in learning within a nurtured environment and provides support to students to re-engage in their learning and prepare for next steps.
