At The Rise School and Sixth Form we are preparing learners for employment as part of our preparation for adulthood offer. These skills are covered in our academic and social curriculum. We work with Ambitious About Autism and a range of local employers and organisations to ensure we have a broad offer covering all requirements in the Gatsby Benchmarks.
Employability and enterprise
We want our learners to be fully prepared for adulthood.
An employability and enterprise curriculum and approach are at the core of supporting a fulfilling quality of life. Our learner journey through our employability and enterprise approach begins at key stage 2 and ensures that we can best support our learners to thrive as they leave after key stage 5.
All learners/pupils have access to impartial advice and guidance from a range of training providers and education/employment pathways. You can find out more about access arrangements in our Provider Access policy.
Feel free to contact the Employability and Enterprise lead at The Rise School.
