As an Specialist Employability College, Pure College is dedicated to supporting students’ career progression, and everything that we do is focused on getting young people ‘work-ready’.
The process of learning about career and acquiring career development skills is about more than presenting people with a list of skills. Career development skills have to be actively learnt, rather than just being ticked off a list and our curriculum supports students to gain a deeper understanding with opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in a very practical and real way.
Developing Career Knowledge
We support students to understand that the progression into a new career can be varied and the learning in the classroom helps them recognise what they need to know and be able to do to. Starting a new career is not just a process of choosing a job early in life, rather it is a process of ongoing learning and development that takes place throughout life.
Employability Focused Courses
Functional Maths and English, Work Placements and Independent Travel Training. ​
Careers Advice and Guidance
Students have regular sessions with a job coach to identify potential career opportunities
Visits from Industry Experts
First hand experience and insight into a range of industries and workplaces.
Gatsby Benchmarks
The GATSBY benchmarks are a set of eight guidelines that aim to improve career guidance and opportunities for young people. Here’s how we integrate these benchmarks into our curriculum:
By aligning the employability curriculum with these benchmarks, we have created a comprehensive and effective framework that prepares students for their future careers. We regularly assess and update the curriculum to ensure it remains relevant and meets the evolving needs of both students and the job market.
