> Do you already know what you want to do
as a job?
> Do you have what it takes to balance real
work skills with real pay and College study?
If you answered yes to these questions, then you
would do well on an apprenticeship programme.
An intermediate/advanced apprenticeship framework
is a programme of learning that has been specially
designed for people who want to learn new skills
and gain nationally recognised qualifications whilst
working. You will spend most of your time developing
your skills in the workplace with your employer but will
also attend College, usually for one day per week, to
improve your knowledge and skills.
Generally you will complete an intermediate
apprenticeship (equivalent to 5 GCSEs at Grades A-C)
before progressing to an advanced apprenticeship
(equivalent to 2 A Levels). For some programmes, you
will go directly to advanced apprenticeships.
Following an interview and assessment, an offer of
a place on an apprenticeship programme is subject
to candidates having employment for a minimum
of 30 hours per week with a suitable employer,
who is willing to support them throughout the
apprenticeship.

Our purpose built centre represents a major
facility for hundreds of Year 10/11 pupils around
North Lincolnshire. Furthermore, it firmly signals
our intent to continue building links with the
secondary and special schools around the area.
"School pupils attend the College's specialist
purpose built skills centre for vocational
courses in many areas of learning…
Provision for 14-16 year olds is exemplary.
The College has been particularly successful
in transforming the lives and prospects of
many young people through its innovative
and highly successful work with local
schools." OfSTED 2010
The John White Skills Centre provides dedicated
classrooms, vocational training areas, ICT
facilities and an outside recreational area.
We currently have in excess of 400 Key Stage 4
pupils enrolled on our vocational courses, all of
whom benefit from our 30 years of experience
in providing specially designed programmes for
learners aged under 16. In September 2010 we
extended our provision with a brand new rural
skills centre in Barton upon Humber.
The skills centre enables schools to offer an
extended curriculum choice at Key Stage 4 for
their learners. The programmes of study within
the centre are timetabled alongside that of each
participating school.
SKILLS CENTRE COURSES
Programmes of Study
Every student who attends the Skills Centre has the opportunity to study
for an industry recognised qualification. The Skills Centre delivers courses in
motor vehicle studies, engineering, construction, hair & beauty, hospitality &
catering and IT. In addition to these, students have access to an extended
range of courses on the main college campus. These qualifications support a
seamless transition into post 16 education and training.
Extended Skills Centre Activities
In addition to the Key Stage 4 vocational curriculum offer, the skills centre
supports schools in many different ways:
zz Primary STEM The centre is proud of the support it offers to our local primary schools.
We have developed a range of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering
and Maths) activities that support the curriculum delivery at key stages
1 and 2.
zz Transition Work
The skills centre supports local schools with the transition from primary
education to secondary and from secondary to post 16.
zz International Partnerships
The skills centre has hosted two successful transatlantic partnership
projects between schools in North Lincolnshire and California, USA.
These projects have culminated in cultural exchange visits to Los
Angeles for our students and return visits for the students from the USA.

in schools, helping with translations.
Justin won the Richard Morley Award
for best STEM Student (Science,

Maths). Justin was commended on
the quality of his work: Extremely
committed to his studies, Justin
always completed his homework
tasks to an A grade. He was a well
organised and meticulous student,
who was predicted A and B grades
in all his subjects. He carried out
his studies alongside his work as
a hairdresser. Justin was always
willing to help other learners in

punctuality were excellent.
Lima is also brilliant at painting henna
