Kibble Education and Care Centre has further developed services through the opening of SkillZone@KibbleWorks.
SkillZone@KibbleWorks will provide a rich blend of education, training, work experience and life skills individualised for young people in their final phase of school education. The curriculum will be based around ASDAN’s Certificate of Personal Effectiveness (CoPE) at Intermediate 1 and 2 levels (SQCF 4 and 5) and Skills for Work at Intermediate 1 and 2 (SQCF 4 and 5).
ASDAN’s CoPE qualification has proved highly successful in the national context by engaging youngsters who have become disaffected with an academic curriculum. SkillZone will use the CoPE structure to build a curriculum that includes Communication, Sport and Leisure, Vocational Preparation, Health and Fitness, Work Related Learning and Enterprise, Independent Living, Community /Charity Work, the Environment and Science and Technology.
The Skills for Work programme also incorporates Employability at Intermediate 1 level. Youngsters benefit from the experience of sampling a variety of vocational activities ranging from roofing to bricklaying while enjoying the huge boost in confidence and self esteem that comes with working hard and taking pride in one’s achievements.
As always, we aim to provide the highest standard of service and will work in partnership with all stakeholders towards ensuring the best possible outcome for each youngster. All referrals will be carefully considered and placements reviewed regularly.
