Minimum Requirements - successful interview, satisfactory reference, an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) and be fully prepared to enter the workplace. This one year course focusses on preparing students for the world of work through volunteering and supported work opportunities. Students will carry out individually tailored one day a week work experience where they will learn appropriate behaviour and skills for the workplace. Examples of work experience include working as an assistant librarian or ICT technician’s assistant. Students may progress to the Volunteering in Placement course. All students will do the following: • Functional Skills in English, ICT and Maths at the relevant level • Independent living skills including managing money, planning and going on trips, making a simple meal, sport, healthy eating •
Course: Adult Independent Living Entry Level Award My biggest achievement at RuTC is winning a Jack Petchey Award. I came here for the Independent Living Skills course and I am really happy about the support I receive, especially from tutors. In addition to classes they organise enrichment activities, such as games clubs, and the college supported me in finding a work placement at The People Hive in Twickenham.
Work experience – up to 2 weeks work experience. Work experience can be near to home and our past students have worked for Tesco, British Heart Foundation charity shops and Marks and Spencer food hall
