Engage

This course is open to 14-18 year olds and appropriate for those who have social, emotional and mental health needs, as well as those wanting to transition back into an educational setting. Engage will provide you with the basic skills that are required to move you forward and offer you the chance to try different subject areas to help you select your chosen pathway.

You will study a range of topics including:

• Developing skills for employment, training and personal development along with an introduction to vocational areas that interest you.
• You will also study Maths and English (if you haven’t yet achieved that important grade 4).

• Learn from industry experience and well qualified vocational tutors
• Take part in cross college events
• Hear from a range of guest speakers

To be eligible for provision at one of our Colleges, you must either have been in care of the local authority for more than 24 hours or, if you are Elective Home Educated, you must have been home educated for a minimum of six months.

You can apply using our online application form and clicking the Apply Now button at the top of this page. For more information support with your enquiry or application please contact Student Services by emailing info@rotherham.ac.uk or by calling 01709 362111.
