Full Description:

The programme is based around practical skills preparing individuals for employment in the retail vocational area and focuses on their transition away from the college environment and into the world of work. All course work will be integrated into college enterprises or supported work placement. If appropriate students will undertake independent travel training.

Students on the Retail Enterprise are responsible for the day to day running of Scribbles, the college's stationery shop. Daily tasks include till work, stock replenishment and general cleaning. Customer interaction enables students to improve their communication and customer service skills and generally boost self esteem/confidence. Working in Scribbles raises awareness of the importance of preparation and planning, money management and personal presentation.

Alongside the practical time table there are sessions for students to work on their existing English, Maths and ICT Functional Skills.
