Step In2

Are you 16 -18 and not currently in education, employment or training?

A different way to step into college

Not everyone is ready to move straight into a full-time college course. Step In2 offers a supportive and personalised introduction to college for young people who would benefit from a more gradual return to learning.

Based in our Connect2 unit at Channelside campus, you will attend college for eight hours per week, giving you time to build confidence, establish a routine and develop the fundamental skills you need for learning.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Your programme will be tailored to your individual needs, helping you make progress at a pace that works for you.

What will I do?

Learning is practical and focused on developing skills you can use in everyday life, as well as helping you become more comfortable and confident in an education environment.

You will have opportunities to develop:

• Practical life skills
• Confidence and independence
• Routine and positive learning habits
• Communication and working with others
• English and maths through practical activities
• Skills to prepare you for further learning

Small steps towards your next goal

Step In2 is designed to give you the time and support you need to become ready for your next step.

As you develop your confidence, routine and learning skills, you can work towards progressing into a more structured programme within Connect2 or Pathways when you are ready.

Join when the time is right

You don’t have to wait until the start of a new academic year. Step In2 accepts learners between September and April, giving you the flexibility to start at an appropriate point for you.
