Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to the 14-19 School Links booklet

I am delighted to introduce you to our 14-19 School Links booklet. Here at Wiltshire College & University Centre we are very proud of our School Links provision and the difference it makes to hundreds of students in our community each year.

Our programmes give young people at school the opportunity to gain skills, knowledge and experience in practical subjects, that prepare them not only for future study, but also for successful employment and life after college.

Our vocational courses are hands-on and practical and are delivered in industry standard facilities, helping learners to prepare for their future chosen career path. Students who successfully complete their School Links programme often achieve places on full-time study programmes or apprenticeships at College once they finish school. This enables them to progress into successful employment and some onto further study at university level.

There are so many opportunities for young people to learn, develop and succeed here at the College. This booklet aims to guide schools, pupils and parents/carers through the process of applying, as well as offering the opportunity to explore all of the options available. We can also provide specific advice for individual learners.

We look forward to seeing you at one of our many Open Events throughout the year when you can get a real flavour of the courses and facilities on offer. Alternatively, you can make an appointment to come in and visit us at the College any time.
