Foundation Learning - Supported Internship

View The Isle of Wight College's standard entry requirements for full-time college courses (depending on the level of the course to be studied).

This course is aimed at 16-19 year olds, (up to 25 years old with EHCP). Level 1 and below who have already been on a Foundation Learning Transition course and need more time to develop confidence, your English, maths, and/or your work skills. You will also be able to continue with vocational options. Moving On is perfect for well motivated learners with specific educational needs (SEN) who need to develop life skills, work skills and more independent study skills.

The course is based within the college, with supported time outside college in a workplace if this can be arranged.  It will usually be offered to follow a transition year at college either with Foundation Learning, or if a learner has been on another vocational programme at college and needs to develop more independence.
