Work Stream 6: Senior Phase Academies

The Senior Phase Academies will continue to develop with the intention of having six academies (foundation apprenticeships) in place by 2020.

The Developing Young Workforce agenda is also linked to these new academies.

Recruitment for the three Senior Phase Academies is underway with a closing date of 18 March.

The courses on offer from summer 2016 are:

• Engineering

• Health and Social Care

• Built Environment

 

These courses were showcased at the recent Local Opportunities Event in Anderson High School. Pupil Support teachers are working with pupils considering these courses.

Paid summer jobs are in place for all those undertaking each of the three courses.
