Level 1 - Horizons Award - Study Programme - NOCN

The intent of this programme is to primarily support learners who suffer with low self-esteem, are deemed vulnerable and who may have specific SEMH and/or behavioural needs.

This programme is designed for those learners who are unclear of their career aspirations and are not fully equipped with the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to progress onto a specific vocational area of choice.

This programme will provide learners with the opportunity to experience 'taster' sessions within a range of vocational areas to get a feel of what sector they are interested and progressing in, whilst at the same time developing their employability and personal and social development skills towards adulthood.

On this pathway you will attend College 15 hours per week, typically, over 3 days. You will attend College at least 3 days a week.
