Course Overview
The Get SET programme is a work-based learning programme for young people who have had high levels of academic support in school or college. The course focusses on developing independence and employability skills through work experience opportunities.

You will attend classroom sessions where you will complete portfolio work and go out to employers for on-the-job learning. You will be fully supported by your Tutor and Job Coach who will help you set and achieve your personal goals.
You will also attend English and Maths sessions to continue to develop these essential skills.
