Learning & Skills
Welcome
I am delighted to welcome you to the autumn 2015 downloadable prospectus for Darlington Borough Council Learning & Skills. We offer a wide range of learning opportunities for all ages from children within our Family Learning provision, to young people embarking on Elev8, Diplomas, Traineeships and Apprenticeships, to adults who want to develop their careers, have a love for learning or are coming back to learning after many years. We are based at the Coleridge Centre in Skerne Park and we deliver some of our courses here. However, you will see from our prospectus that we also offer courses in many other locations around the town. We are quite a small organisation and we pride ourselves in offering you a unique, friendly service, including 1:1 guidance on your next steps in learning or employment once you have completed a course with us. We are here to help provide Darlington’s community with the learning you want and we positively welcome any feedback you may have about the type of courses you would like to see in Darlington. Please contact us (01325 248021, text on 07816 677851 or l&s@darlington.gov.uk) for further information about any of our courses – we would love to hear from you. Best wishes

Diplomas Diplomas are offered to 16-18 year olds in Childcare, Health and Social Care, Site Joinery and Motor Vehicle Maintenance and Repair.

The course involves interactive lessons relevant to employment in your chosen area, as well some short work experience with a local business and the possibility of gaining industry qualifications, such as a CSCS card or First Aid. The course will also enable you to develop your maths and English skills (if required) in order to support your progression.
Progression from this programme would be an Apprenticeship Scheme with Darlington Borough Council Learning and Skills or a Level 3 Diploma. Kadima Begum (Advanced Business Administration Apprentice – HR Darlington Borough Council), said: “You will gain skills needed for the job, and build up more knowledge, have the best experience and receive excellent qualifications. This will also help you in your future, whether you want to go to university and study or continue working in the workforce, you will get all the training and experience required to help you become more successful in your future and help you choose the best career for you.”

Traineeships These are offered to 16-24 year olds in Business Administration, Childcare, Health and Social Care, Site Joinery and Motor Vehicle Maintenance and Repair. They last up to 6 months and enable the learner to complete vocationally related qualifications and industry related qualifications. The course involves classroom based lessons, workshop experience and work experience, as well as an opportunity to build on maths and English skills. We will need to secure employers prior to learners starting the course, as this is a funding requirement.
Raising of the Participation Age All young people are now required to continue in education or training until their 18th birthday. This does not necessarily mean staying on in school. You can choose how you participate post-16, which could be through: (a) Full-time education at a school, college, or other training provider, such as Learning & Skills (a minimum of 540 hours per year) (b) An Apprenticeship (c) Part-time education or training if you are employed, self-employed or volunteering for 20 hours or more a week
Service to Secondary Schools – Alternative Provision We offer high quality alternative provision for 14 – 16 year olds (including English and maths) at the Coleridge Centre – a safe and calm learning environment. Students work 1:1 or in small groups on a personalised timetable leading to accredited qualifications, including individual help to progress to post-16 learning or employment. 01325 248021 • l&s@darlington.gov.uk • www.darlington.gov.uk/learningandskills 11
Employers’ Information
The work experience could be anything from one week to 12 months and it would enable the young person to gain vital skills and knowledge in their chosen area, as well as developing a work ethic.
Learning & Skills is looking for employers to offer Apprenticeships and high quality work experience to young people within Darlington and the surrounding area. These young people will be aged 16+ and will be looking to gain vital skills, knowledge and understanding in the industry they would like a career. We have an excellent track record of working with employers across Darlington and would really like you to come on board. Apprenticeships With grants available of £1,500* and other incentives, there is no better time to consider an apprentice. With structured training and assessment which is relevant to your organisation’s needs, an apprentice can be an enthusiastic and valuable new addition to your workforce.
The work experience would be for 16 - 18 year olds from a range of backgrounds who are trying to access further education, employment or an apprenticeship. They will have committed interest in their chosen area of work and will be supported by our training staff throughout their experience. Any specific needs will be discussed at the outset, so that you can decide if the learner would be suitable for your business. Wages are not required; however this is at the employer’s discretion as they may feel the learner deserves some reward for their efforts. This is the ideal way to trial a young person before progressing them onto an apprenticeship. For more information contact the Learning & Skills Business Support Team on 01325 248021 or l&s@darlington.gov.uk *subject to terms and conditions
Your apprentice can quickly become a real asset to your business, improving your company’s productivity and competitiveness, whilst not affecting your bottom line. The apprentice would be aged 16+, earning the Apprenticeship National Minimum Wage minimum of £2.73 per hour (rising to £3.30 per hour from October 2015) for a minimum of 30 hours per week and will have a contract of employment issued by the employer like any other employee. Diploma Courses and Elev 8 We are also looking for employers to support the Elev8 Programme and Diploma courses by enabling us to offer short and long term work experience to young people aged 16 - 18. 12 01325 248021 • l&s@darlington.gov.uk • www.darlington.gov.uk/learningandskills
