Begin to think about a vocational profile that shows a student's:
- skills
- abilities
- interests
- support needs
Think about future options through the schools careers, education and guidance programme.
Preparing a young person for work starts with increasing independence. This is why from nursery we:
- use a support plan based on the child's needs
- understand what matters to them
- use short-term and long-term goals and aspirations.
From Year 9, there is an increased focus on employability. The information further down shows the ways a young person can be prepared for employment.
Speak with your school or Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) to find out more.
