Personal Progression Pathways are individual learning programmes created to support the students’ needs and aspirations as they prepare for adult life. Their individual pathways are made up of selected modules that will develop skills. Each student is invited to attend the college for a short transition programme to ascertain the most appropriate modules that will enable them to develop and progress.
