UNLOCKING POTENTIAL

You will undertake a pathway of development tailored to your preferred outcome. Our courses encompass professional skill acquisition, personal skill development and work-based learning and training.

We’ll look at your skills and qualities and find you a work-based learning placement in an area of your choice, while our dedicated Work Placement Officer will support you with work-based questions.

You can try placements in various industries if you’re unsure which career path you’d like to follow, and each placement enhances your CV with valuable experience and employer references.

WHERE WILL IT TAKE ME?

You may undertake an Apprenticeship, gain full-time employment or progress into further education. For those seeking to move into the work environment, we will help with applications and support you with interview preparation. You will be able to move into an Apprenticeship or employment at any point in the year or move into further learning the following academic year.

When you join a Personal & Professional Development course, we’ll equip you with the confidence to move onto further education, or the skill set that you need to succeed in an industry that suits you by providing you with valuable work experience.

PPD is about unlocking potential in young minds. We focus on changing mindset, developing networks, enhancing skillsets and supporting young people to transition into the world of work or Higher Education.

I’ve enjoyed my time in the Marketing department, my favourite piece of work was learning all about social media because I hope to work in social media in the future.
