Future Pathways

The Futures Pathways January Start programme gives you the chance to re-engage with college, rebuild your confidence, and explore new options in a supportive, practical way.

Across 20 weeks, you’ll try out different vocational areas across the campus, develop key personal and social skills, and start shaping a future that feels right for you.

Vocational Exploration – Get hands-on experience in a range of subject areas so you can discover what you enjoy, what you’re good at, and where you might want to go next.

Personal & Social Development – Build confidence, communication skills, teamwork, wellbeing and resilience – all the skills that help you thrive in education, work and life.

Next Steps Support – With guidance from friendly staff, you’ll work on identifying realistic progression routes, setting goals, and getting ready for your next course, an apprenticeship or employment.

This part-time re-engagement programme is designed to help you settle back into learning, understand your options, and take positive steps toward your future.
