Pathway to Working Life (Small Animal Care)

This course is aimed at learners who have an inclusion need. 

It focuses on Preparation for Adulthood and developing work skills.  

You will continue to study English and maths and will take part in a tutorial and animal care activities.

It is expected that learners will want to continue studying and developing their skills in English and maths while taking a pathway towards a working life.

Places are allocated on an individual basis, following an interview and initial assessment.

Within this three-day (full-time) pathway, learners will work towards Functional English and Maths, Preparation for Adulthood and gaining work experience within a small animal care environment.

This course will be delivered on-site. 

You will be asked to make a voluntary contribution to trips throughout the year and may be asked to provide some personal safety equipment for your chosen options.

Learners set targets which are then reviewed every half term. 

If appropriate, learners will sit a Functional English and Maths exam.  

Your learning support needs will be assessed and reviewed throughout the year. 

You can progress within Pathway to Working Life, to a Level 1 or Work Ready Pathway at the College, or to seek employment or training.
