Gordon Franks offer a variety of programmes for students to enhance the school curriculum and give them the personal skills that will make them ‘work ready’. These programmes can be tailored around the needs of the school and student.

The Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 programme enables both the student and school to become involved in shaping the workforce of the future, by offering able and motivated students between the

ages of 14 and 16 the chance to get a taste of real work alongside their school studies.

This booklet explains how the programmes work and the benefits to both the student and the school.

Employability Programme

Introduction to Employability

Confidence Building

Teamwork

Listening Skills and Communication

Interview Skills

Appearance, motivation and enthusiasm

Do you have students who lack some self confidence or motivation? Who find it difficult to work in a team?

We have the answer!

Our Employability programme has been successfully delivered in various schools throughout Birmingham. This programme is tailor made for your school. It can be delivered on or off site to pre or post 16 year olds, to group sizes of approximately 15-20 people

in a series of 1 hour modules.

Key Stage 5 ProgrammeThis programme is aimed at capable and motivated students who would like the chance to experience workplace life in a supported way, and who will benefit from building a strong foundation before moving on to an Apprenticeship if that is their preferred career pathway.

The programme is designed to benefit employers too, by putting their needs at the heart of the drive to close the skills gap through the development of a first-class system of vocational and technical learning.

Students participating in the programme still pursue their curriculum studies and qualifications, including English, Maths, Science and ICT, which are delivered in school as normal.

During the one or two day per week (or equivalent) that they are on the programme, students will study for qualifications in vocational subjects (e.g. QCF or Technical Certificates).

Delivered in a mixture of settings. Students will divide their time between school, practical training and work experience with participating employers. The aim is to provide the majority of experience ‘on the job’, in a real work environment using industry-standard equipment.
