4 School Leavers (16-18) Find with Selby College, choose either a ational Course or an Apprenticeship If you are interested in a specific career, have seen the job you would like to do or identified an industry you would like to work in, then a vocational course might be the right choice for you. Unlike most school sixth forms, Selby College offers a wide range of vocational course choices for you at different levels, up to and including Degree level courses. The word vocational actually means workrelated, so if you are choosing a Selby College vocational course, you are choosing a course that enables you to learn skills that will help you find work and start your career. A vocational course offers you a practical learning route and relates directly to a specific industry, sector or job role. Selby College s vocational courses are designed to provide you with the practical skills and the underpinning knowledge needed for a specific job or career. A Route to a Degree or Finding Work Some people are not aware that you can study a higher level Degree course at Selby College or at University after completing Level 3 vocational qualifications. Choosing a vocational course also allows you to start work much earlier than graduates from university, giving you the experience you need on the job that supports the skills you have learned at college. If you choose an Apprenticeship, you will even get the chance to Earn as you Learn. 2 /selbycollege News, pictures & Follow your college Check out the latest

8 vocational courses explained ational qualifications offer a more practical approach to learning that relates to specific jobs or industries. They tend to focus on developing practical skills and knowledge in a classroom-based environment, with real-life work experience being gained through industry placements. They vary in length, usually from 1-2 years depending on the programme and level you are following, however it is possible to progress to the next qualification upon successful completion of the lower level.* *Please see Childcare courses for Level 3 Childcare entry requirements. Entry to Level 3 courses requires students to have achieved GCSE C grades or above in Maths and English. One Course There are many subject areas to choose from but it s worth bearing in mind that you can only study one vocational qualification at a time, so make sure it s something you re really interested in. Entry Level = Up to 1 Year There are no formal entry requirements for these programmes which have been specifically designed to provide you with essential life and study skills. Successful completion of an Entry Level programme can provide you with a stepping stone to a Level 1 course. Level 1 = 1 Year You will usually need to have gained E and F grades in your GCSEs to study a Level 1 programme, but these will build on your existing skills and, upon successful completion, allow you to progress to a Level 2 course. Level 2 = 1 Year Level 2 qualifications are equivalent to GCSE A*-C grades and as such you will be expected to have achieved at least four GCSEs at grade D or above to enrol on one of these programmes. Successful completion however, will pave the way for you to further your studies at Level 3. Level 3 = 2 Years Level 3 qualifications are equivalent to three A Levels so you will need to have achieved at least five GCSE passes at grade C or above to enrol on the programme. Upon successful completion of a Level 3 qualification you will be ideally placed to pursue a career in your chosen industry or go on to university to specialise further in your chosen area. *You will be guided throughout the application process to ensure that you enrol on the level of qualification best suited to you. 6

36 WE FOUND OUR FUTURE AT THE SOAPBOX DERBY 34 For many young people there s no way they would consider getting involved in something educational outside of school hours, but one group of talented school pupils discovered that this can actually be quite fun. The Selby College Young Engineers Club was created to challenge pupils aged with an interest in Engineering, Science or Technology. It is an entirely voluntary group, so you don t have to attend if you don t want to. Students learn a variety of different skills from highly experienced Powerskills UK staff. Skills that this year, thanks to a sponsorship deal with local food manufacturer Greencore, saw them enter the Humber Bridge Soapbox Derby with their self-designed and built gravity racer. Selby College is celebrating the success of the club, who came 2nd in the Under-16 category. This was a great achievement for the youngsters, especially considering the fact that they had a crash situation on their hands during the second of their three runs! There were hundreds of spectators at the race and many were keen to find out how staff and students at Selby College had got involved in the event and also to ask questions about Powerskills and our range of Engineering courses. It was the second time that Lecturer Steve Cook had entered a college team, last year taking two junior teams who came away with 2nd and 3rd place in their group. Given the result the students got this year, no doubt the Soapbox Derby will become a regular fixture on the Powerskills calendar!
