Designed around individual needs, the centre provides personalised support, specialist teaching and adapted learning environments that help students build confidence, independence and practical life skills.
Students benefit from being part of a vibrant college community while learning in a safe and supportive environment. Opportunities include practical learning, social development, work experience and progression activities that help prepare students for greater independence, employment and participation in their local communities.
The Pathway Centre supports around 200 students each year through programmes that develop communication, employability and independent living skills. Learning is linked to individual aspirations and goals, helping students build the confidence needed for future progression.
Maizie, Supported Learning student
“My name is Maizie and I am studying on the Supported Learning course with catering at the Southgate Campus. I enjoy coming to College and the best thing about the course is that you get to learn about customer service skills as well as learning how to cook different things; like how to cook an omelette, soup, vegetable burgers and wraps.
We have practical lessons like cooking two days a week, then we also have other lessons in the week, like: PE, Maths, English and the World of Work. The course has given me much more confidence and my favourite part is the cooking, but I do like my other lessons as well and eventually I’d like to try and get a job after my course working in a shop.”
