New catch-up Mentors

Following the success of our

Catch-Up Coordinator’s one-toones and workshops with our students whose learning was impacted by COVID, we have brought in three more Catch-Up Mentors to support more learners this academic year.

Conducting workshops on Confidence and Motivation, Exam Techniques, Accountability, Personal Values and more, these new team members aim to empower learners to re-engage with their learning in a more independent, achievable and personalised way.

They will be available face-to-face, or via Teams if necessary to engage with learners on a one-to-one or small group basis for truly impactful work, helping our learners to achieve their potential.

The Catch-Up Mentors at each Centre are:

College Green Bethany Lamont

SBSA

Shamiso Mahari

Parkway/AEC and Ashley Down

Antonio Andres Munoz

Speak to Daniel Holley if you want to know more, or reach out to your site’s dedicated Mentor to make an introduction and see how you can help support our learners.

Support your students with Career Coach

Our Career Coach tool is a

great resource for Local Market Information about the state of the jobs market in the Bristol area.

It provides information about skills gaps and employment needs within the city, and is therefore a vital resource in preparing our learners for successful employment in Bristol and ensuring the skills we teach stay in the local jobs market. Career Coach is easy to access, and we should be continually referring to it with our curriculum in mind to ensure what we are teaching is up to date and in line with the current labour market.

It is especially important at the moment, with the constantly changing economic circumstances, and by monitoring LMI we can help our learners to make informed decisions about their career choices and progression routes through education and beyond.
