Success Stories
A few stories of our learners who have moved into a positive onward destination
Stuart
Stuart has been a learner at Green Corridor for just under 2 years now completing his Home Cooking Skills vocational qualification.
Stuart has had the support of his TA, class tutor and job coach who have organised and supported in his work placement in a local pub. He is taking orders, using the till, handling money and making the food!
He has now been offered paid part-time employment at the pub after he finishing his education at GC! Until then, he will continue his work-placement on Fridays.
Careerometer
Careerometer can be used to explore and compare key information about occupations, help you learn about different occupations and identify potential careers.
It provides access to a selection of UK headline data relating to pay, weekly hours of work and future employment prospects for different occupations, as well as description of the occupation.
Simply type in the title of the job you are interested in and the widget provides a series of options from which you can select the most relevant to you. You can then look up another two occupations and compare. You can also select ‘display the UK average’ and compare the information with the occupation you have selected.
