BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Sussex Coast College Hastings has revamped its services to employers. Vice Principal Dan Shelley (right), whose brief is Enterprise, Employment and Skills, has renewed the emphasis on local employers taking more ownership of the Skills agenda.

‘‘ I want the college to be seen by business as a vital part of the formula for growth. I am extending an open invitation to employers to help us direct our resources to meet their specific training needs. In some cases we will even be able to work with business partners to develop new accredited qualifications. ’’

Contact Dan Shelley, Vice Principal for Enterprise, Employ-ment and Skills, to discuss the development of our Skills Strategy, at [email protected]

OUR OFFERS HAVE BEEN STREAMLINED TO TARGET FOUR KEY AREAS THAT WILL GENERATE VALUE TO BUSINESS:

TRAINING YOUR EXISTING STAFF

The college works with business to provide immediate, bespoke and flexible training to optimise productivity. We can provide a tailored mix of accredited qualifications, along with coaching and specific workshops, to enhance the performance of your company’s workforce.

For example, we have recently worked with over 15 local engineering and manufacturing companies to develop a short vacuum course that has enabled staff across these companies to expand their theoretical knowledge and improve sales as a result. (See page 47 of this prospectus for further details of this course).

We have government funding available to support your business develop and grow so please contact us to discuss your bespoke requirements on 01424 458570 or email us at [email protected].

APPRENTICESHIPS

Apprenticeships are one of the fastest-growing ways of increasing capability in a business. Heavily supported by central government, they are an affordable way to gain an employee and support young people as they take their first steps into work.

If you think your business would benefit from taking on an apprentice, contact the Apprenticeship team on 01424 458317 or at [email protected]

WORK PLACEMENTS AND VISITS

This year, the College has 1,500 students who are seeking work placements as part of their Employability and Work Skills programmes. Placements give young people a real taste of work and improve employability.

You can also offer a visit to your premises or come into College to talk about you, your business or the sector you work in. This will inspire our learners and give them a fuller understanding of the skills you are looking for.

Contact the Work Experience team on 01424 458580 or at [email protected]

TRAINING YOUR FUTURE WORKFORCE

If you are an employer looking for staff, then work with us to recruit from a pool of work-ready people. In partnership with employers and the Job Centre Plus, we design short and intensive, accredited pathways for local unemployed people, giving them the confidence and skills needed to fill local job vacancies.

Our Inside Track programme trains local people for you to interview, take on a work trial or directly employ. We can provide you with a cost-effective recruitment process and support unemployed people get back into work. Successful partnerships have generated jobs for people locally in Prime Care, Pets at Home and Dunhelm Mills. For us to tailor a programme for your needs, contact our Business Development team on 01424 458570 or email [email protected]

After training as an actress at stage school, Grace had two children and found herself as a single mum living in Rye. Grace found a Beauty Therapy course at Sussex Coast College Hastings which interested her and realised 24+ loans were available.

‘Doing this course has completely changed my life. The college couldn’t do enough to help resolve every issue I have had, the college has taken off my hands. The 24+ loan was paid straight to the college and I have had help with my childcare too. The course has given me more than any financial gain, it has given me my life back whilst ena-bling me to continue to be a great mum to my girls.’

Grace has a 5 year plan, hoping to continue her Level 3, specialising in skin care, then gain experience for a year before going freelance and opening her own salon.

Mahdy Al Gaaly is a mature Egyptian-born British student, studying ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) at Sussex Coast College Hastings. He was referred to SCCH by his case worker at the Job Centre and has never looked back. “Sussex Coast College Hastings is a modern building with an abundance of resources for students to learn.As an outsider I had very limited knowledge of the facilities available, but as a student I have had a great opportunity to access facilities within the building, which support my intellectual and social abilities. The college is very near the town; a group trip to the Old Town with my teachers explored historical places of interest, which I was unaware of.”

Mahdy Al Gaaly, ESOL student

‘I chose to study at Sussex Coast College as the engineering department had an excellent reputation and the course suited my needs. SCCH is a very ‘hands on’ college, especially at the Ore campus, where you are given the opportunity to use industrial equipment and machinery without being restricted due to it being an educational establishment. It really gives you the experience of ‘real’ welding, due to the workshop environment, and totally prepares you for the world of work.’‘I enjoy studying here because there are industrial standard facilities and the staff are knowledgeable. The course fits around work perfectly as it is in the evenings.’

Rod Nelson, part-time Welding student

“I worked as a part-time welder when I came back to college to gain qualifications in machine shop skills. I was inspired to progress on to the BTEC Level 3 National Certificate in Engineering. I discovered a true passion for engineering and found the confidence I needed to be myself, instead of being what others expected. I am very happy to be unconventional!I went on to study the HND in Mechanical Engineering and won a regional award for Outstanding Progression to Higher Education. I am now teaching Engineering at Sussex Coast College Hastings.”

Debbie Attewell, Level 4 Engineering student

1 7 WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

BE INSPIRED

Stella took her time when deciding to return to learning as she had a lot to consider - giving up work, planning for her children’s care and running a home.

‘Once I was enrolled I was even more nervous, sitting in a room full of intelligent youngsters who were used to being in education. Then there is me, who has been out of it for a long time. I soon proved to myself that I was capable of taking information in and putting assignments together. When I received my first Distinction, I cried with happiness and through it I gained confidence, which is something I’ve always lacked. I have learnt so much whilst on this course and had some brilliant experiences, both in and outside the classroom. This includes a range of placements which have helped steer my career decisions in the right direction.

Stella Cowell, Level 3 Health and Social Care student

“I studied TAQA and PGCE Cert Ed part-time in order to gain my teaching qualifications. Part-time studying meant I could continue to work, whilst learning at the same time. I found the course at SCCH to be of a very high standard, with tutors who understood my needs. I am now a fully qualified teacher, employed by the college. Thanks to my part-time course, I am able to give my students a high standard of learning.Studying part-time has given me confidence in my abilities and made me curious as to what I will learn next…”

Rob Donachie, PGCE student

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY 18

“It is hard to know what you want to do with your life when you are 16 years old; I just decided to go with the flow. I always wanted to be a hairdresser, but I was persuaded not to by my family. Now I have finally decided to follow my dream career.Studying at SCCH was an easy decision. The location is perfect for me and I love the facilities. It is also a Wella College of Excellence which made it a clear choice for me.I was extremely worried that I would be the only adult on the course, but I couldn’t be more wrong. At least half of the class are adults, allowing us to learn from each other. We all get on really well and there is a great atmosphere.”

Emma Heritage, Level 3 Hairdressing student

‘I have learnt so much on my course, starting with the roles of working overseas, cruises, business travel, geography, attractions around the world, marketing, and global distribution services along with selling skills, customer service skills and teamwork. In fact, as I’m writing this I can hardly believe how much I have actually achieved! I have been to Gatwick airport both landside and airside and experienced the World Travel Market, which is the most prestigious travel event of the year, all thanks to SCCH. This year I have to plan my own travel event and undertake some very difficult exams but I know I will achieve my goals. In fact, what used to scare me now excites me.’

Melanie Sherry, Travel and Tourism student

Shannon completed her Level 2 in Mechanics at SCCH and hoped to go on to an Apprenticeship to start her career, but unfortunately her maths and English grades were not high enough. She was told about the Traineeship scheme by one of her tutors and decided to embark on the 12 week programme, helping her gain her maths and English grades to progress onto the Apprenticeship she had her heart set on. Shannon has now progressed on to her Mechanics Apprenticeship with 247 Transport in Hastings and is enjoying every minute. ‘It is intense but I wouldn’t be where I am today without it. It has been worth every minute’ says Shannon. Project Co-ordinator Tony Giles said, ‘The course consists of two weeks of employability training, including confidence building, job search, personal statement, interview techniques, CV writing and so much more.’

Did you know?You must have a C or above in maths and English GCSE to study an Access to Higher Education course.

From 2014, Access courses nationally have been re-shaped to better reflect the key aims of the educational pathways studied.

At Sussex Coast College Hastings, our provision has not altered fundamentally, but prospective applicants for Access should now expect to find that entry requirements to Higher Education at national level include English and maths GCSE at grade C or above. If you do not have either of these grades, or if you need to re-sit, it is advisable that you do this before entry to Access.

Applicants wishing to go on to teach at Primary level must have additionally attained a Science subject at grade C. If you are in doubt about the status of your qualifications, your first priority should be to check with your HE institution/s of choice before applying for an Access course.

Try out an Access to Higher Education courseWe provide taster sessions for you to try before you commit to your course. All Access students are assessed for suitability during initial interviews and taster sessions. These run between April and August every year, and replicate a range of Access activities and lessons.
