Journey to Employment is for people who have a learning disability and/or neuro diverse and are looking to gain experience in the workplace to transition into secure employment.

Journey to Employment is for students who want to secure full time employment. Once on the course, the student will spend allocated time on site with the host employer. During this period they will complete a work placement and will gain relevant SQA qualifications in Employability and Customer Service.

Journey to Employment will give students the opportunity to take part in a variety of work placements and will help to work out next steps and specific areas of interest in the workplace.

This will allow students to build on independence, confidence and self-esteem and gather skills and experience needed to be job ready.

The course will be led by an award-winning team where previous students have excelled. During the pandemic years, 80% of students gained meaningful employment.
