Learning

 

At Derwen College you will be learning work skills in vocational pathway areas. 

Students at Derwen are learning skills for life, and for jobs they want to get when they leave college.  National Careers Week in March promoted the opportunities available to students, and asked them to think about all the skills they have learnt while at Derwen.  We look forward to the 2021 event.

Learning pathways at Derwen College have been developed to meet industry standards and to get you ready for the job market. As you work in these areas you will develop your inter-personal and independence skills.  As a result of working with staff, other students and members of the public, you will become more confident to manage different relationships. 

Our vocational learning pathway areas are: 

• Hospitality and Housekeeping                                        Learning at Derwen video – watch  HERE

Additionally you will have sessions with Personal Development and Independence skills building to support your progress towards independence.

You may also be working at our satellite sites at Craven Arms or Walford.

Your learning at Derwen is bespoke to you. It is fun, you will make new friends and learn essential new skills.
