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 supporting him 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.
What our parents say
"Time at this parent/carer coffee morning was well spent - a very informative session on the studies and various pathways after leaving Green Corridor."

"Cian feels that the green corridor is a happy place, with staff that work hard to do the best for the learners, he said he has made some great friendships and that he has been able to ask staff for help no matter what. He said his tutors have been brilliant and that all the staff are great. He said he now feels more confident to go to work and hopefully on to have a career working with SEN learners one day"
