Build Skills for the World of Health and Social Care
We’re excited to announce that we will soon be expanding our curriculum with a brand-new Health & Social Care vocational pathway.
This new pathway is designed to create even more meaningful opportunities for learners as they prepare for adulthood, independence, and future employment.
Our Health & Social Care pathway will introduce learners to the values, behaviours, and practical skills needed to support others in caring and community-focused environments.
Learners will begin developing knowledge and experience linked to:
- Communication and interpersonal skills
- Supporting others with care and respect
- Teamwork and professional behaviours
- Health, wellbeing, and community awareness
- Confidence in workplace environments
- Independence and employability skills
This pathway reflects the growing opportunities within the health and social care sector while supporting the Preparation for Adulthood outcomes that are embedded across all our study programmes.
A New Pathway. A New Chance to Grow.
Our Health & Social Care pathway has been developed to build naturally alongside our existing vocational curriculum and learner-centred approach.
At Petty Pool, all study programmes are personalised to support:
- Learner aspirations
- EHCP outcomes
- Independence and confidence
- Employability and workplace readiness
- Preparation for adult life
This pathway will sit alongside our existing vocational areas and it offers another exciting option for learners who are interested in developing caring, communication, wellbeing, and community-based skills.
We want learners to feel supported while exploring future opportunities in environments where helping others, teamwork, empathy, and communication are important.
