Journey to Employment How we’re giving our young people the edge when applying for jobs

Employment Journey to

Giving Young People the edge

At Bolton College, we want to give our young people the edge when it comes to applying for jobs. One of the ways we do this is through our Journey to Employment programme.

Employers tell us they like candidates who have good attendance, are on time, are proactive, engage with extra-curricular activities, are eager to learn and behave in a professional manner.

In our Journey to Employment programme your child can achieve bronze, silver or gold certificates that evidence the above. These are presented in a high-quality portfolio at the end of their time in College.

These portfolios prove to be a great asset at interviews, enabling your child to evidence their vocational qualifications and skills as well as the qualities and values that employers look for. Your child’s progress towards these certificates is measured throughout their time at College and they are constantly encouraged to improve, with guidance on how to achieve GOLD.
