SUMMARY:Making ESOL work for employers:  A practical progression model for FE colleges
DESCRIPTION:Many FE colleges work with learners who are already in employment\, highly motivated\, but held back by language barriers\, confidence and unfamiliarity with working life in the UK. Moving straight to Functional Skills English is often unrealistic and risks disengagement.\nIn this webinar\, Weston College shares how they partnered with Yeo Valley to create a more supportive starting point for ESOL learners working in factory roles\, building confidence\, practical workplace communication skills and a clear route into Functional Skills English. \nYou will hear directly from Weston College about: \n\nWhy Functional Skills was not the right starting point for many learners\nHow flexible use of qualifications supported speaking\, listening and confidence\nHow delivery was shaped around shift patterns\, onsite learning and employer needs\nHow learners progressed into Functional Skills including to Level 2\nThe benefits for the employer\, including progression into supervisory roles\n How this approach strengthened long term employer partnerships.\n\nYou will leave with practical ideas you can apply in your own provision\, and a clear understanding of how flexible qualifications can support learners from their true starting points\, rather than forcing a one size fits all model. \nRegister for the AoC Learning Week sessions here \nPlease note: This event is psrt of the AoC Learning Week and is run by AoC. Bookings can be made through the AoC website here \n\nAbout the Association of Colleges (AoC) \nThe Association of Colleges (AoC) is the national voice for further education\, sixth form\, tertiary and specialist colleges in England.
