Students can access vocational tasters in the following areas:
- Animal Care

- Childcare and Education Professions
- Construction
- Engineering (Go Kart Project)
- Hair and Beauty
- Health, Science and Social Care Professions

They will also work towards the AIM Award Skills for Working Life and Employment and City and Guilds Functional Skills maths and English at Entry Level/Level 1/Level 2 (which are accepted as entry qualifications on mainstream vocational courses in the College). Pupils can also access enrichment, enterprise and volunteering activities.
