Work based vocational learning offers young people the opportunity to support their classroom learning with practical learning in your workplace, which, in turn, helps them to achieve a recognised qualification.
This is playing an increasingly important part in the development of lifelong learning for everyone but in particular for young people in our schools.
It allows them a taste of what the world of work is really like beyond what they can learn from a work experience placement. It's delivered over a longer period of time with related benefits.
Work related learning and work based vocational learning are now a key part of the curriculum. You can support this important area by offering young people the opportunity to obtain a work based learning qualification supported by your business or organisation. Your local authority education team can help you get involved.
