Case study: In School Support
Aims and Objectives Company To engage students in work-related learning through paid work experience funded by the Outer Shirley Regeneration Fund. The initiative was to reward students from an area of deprivation (Shirley, Southampton) by giving them the opportunity to experience paid employment for a 4-week period over the summer holiday. School(s) Students had to have improved school attendance, grades and attitude to be considered for the project, and it was also about raising aspirations. 4 students worked at BHS A separate retail project allowed the students to pilot the Introductory Certificate in Business, Retail & Administration during their work experience. Time Invested by the Employer Initial meeting with Solent Skill Quest (1½ hours) Outline of Activity Undertaken Students completed the Introductory Certificate for Business, Retail & Administration gathering evidence and witness accounts during their normal working day. Subjects included: Health and Safety, Customer Service, Undertaking Retail, Researching the Sector. Results of Evaluation to meet Aims and Objectives Six students started the certificate, and 4 completed. Conclusions Feedback from the school was that it was outstanding; it had made a difference to the students’ confidence and attitudes, and they would like more students to achieve the certificate (unfortunately there was no funding for Solent Skill Quest to continue the pilot). Future Plans We are working with other partners to promote vocational learning with work experience and promote BTEC qualifications.
