Personal and Social Development
This area supports learners in understanding themselves, building self-esteem, and developing emotional intelligence. Through activities and discussions, students explore topics such as setting personal goals, understanding emotions, managing relationships, and overcoming challenges. The aim is to help young people grow in confidence, take responsibility for their choices, and develop a positive mindset that will support them throughout life.
Employability and Work Skills
Students gain the practical skills and knowledge needed to prepare for the workplace. This includes learning how to write a CV, fill out job applications, prepare for interviews, and understand employer expectations. The unit also covers key workplace behaviours such as punctuality, communication, problem-solving, and teamwork. By the end of this unit, learners feel more confident about their future and better prepared for employment or further training.
Teamwork and Communication
Effective communication and the ability to work well with others are essential in every aspect of life. In this area, learners participate in group activities and challenges that develop their interpersonal skills. They learn how to express themselves clearly, listen actively, resolve conflicts, delegate tasks, and lead or support others. This helps build confidence in social settings and improves collaboration in both academic and real-world environments.
Enterprise and Citizenship
This unit encourages learners to think creatively and act responsibly within their communities and wider society. Students are introduced to the basics of enterprise by planning and running small-scale business or fundraising projects. Alongside this, they explore their role as active citizens, learning about democracy, rights and responsibilities, volunteering, and how to make a positive impact locally and globally. It’s a powerful blend of business awareness and social responsibility.
Health and Wellbeing
A healthy mind and body are vital for success in education and life. This unit helps students understand the importance of physical and mental health. Topics include nutrition, exercise, managing stress, understanding mental health, forming healthy relationships, and making informed lifestyle choices. Learners are encouraged to reflect on their own wellbeing and develop strategies to support a balanced, healthy life.
