Work Related, Careers and Enterprise Education PSE

(Core Subject)

In Year 10, your PSE programme is aimed at developing the skills and knowledge you will eventually require in your future career/job.

For the first time Westborough is offering all Year 10 students to gain a Work Related Award as part of their PSE Programme.  This award is called

The ASDAN Foundation for Work Award

This is a programme which offers you a choice of eight different challenges:

Exploring choices

Preparing for the Workplace

Being at Work

Aspects of the Workplace

Looking for Work

International Dimensions

Managing Money

Personal Review

 

Students progress through the challenges, collecting evidence of their achievements to put in a Portfolio.  The work you present is assessed by your Form Tutor and if you are successful, he/she will recommend you be issued with the Foundation for Work Certificate.

The Enterprise Education part of this course will involve you being involved in Enterprise/Work Related Days run by people from industry/commerce and of course you will undertake a two week work placement in Year 11 which can be used as evidence for your award.

You will also get the chance to visit different places of work and meet with employers as part of the School’s famous “Perceptions” Programme.

It is through this programme that the very important aspects of Careers Education will be taught.

The best thing is, all of this work goes towards your success in the Foundation for Work Award.
