Class act - Entering the world of work
by Nicola Brooks Related learning manager for the Lancashire Education Business Partnership
All students are entitled to experience work-related learning between the ages of 14 to 16. Lancashire Education Business Partnership's provision goes further than that with a range of work-related learning and enterprise programmes designed for students from Key Stage 1 through to post 16.
Schools can use our pick-and-mix offer and select from a number of different activities to ensure they have a programme of learning that best suits their requirements. We also offer a range of bespoke programmes that can be tailor-made.
Our programmes aim to help students develop basic employability skills that employers want, such as teamwork, problem-solving and communication skills, together with numeracy, literacy and ICT skills.
We have a specialised team who are trained to deliver our range of activities which includes the direct involvement of a range of ambassadors from across Lancashire who can enhance a student's understanding of the world of business.
Our activities have now been mapped to support Every Child Matters, Curriculum, Nine Elements of Work Related Learning and Personal Learning and Thinking Skills. These latter skills, plus functional skills, have never been so important and our work-related learning programmes fully support these aspects enabling our young people to recognise which skills they learn in the classroom and how they transfer their learning into the workplace.
Our support enables schools to host adaptable and flexible programmes that will equip students with lifelong skills, raise aspirations, attainment, and motivation and become the successful workforce of
tomorrow.
