A foreword from Gordon Currie

East Dunbartonshire Council’s vision statement is fully endorsed by the Education Service:

“Working together to achieve the best with the people of East Dunbartonshire”

We believe that our young people should be offered as wide a range of opportunities as possible in order to achieve their potential and fully prepare them for life beyond school. Strong partnership working with a range of partners including further education colleges is an important part of delivering these opportunities.

In the present economic climate, it is more important than ever that our young people develop the vital employability skills that are needed in the world of work now and for the future. Courses available through school–college partnership working, offer additional opportunities for meeting the vocational aspirations of our pupils and enhance the range of progression routes within the Senior Phase of Curriculum for Excellence.

The entitlements which young people can expect in their Senior Phase include opportunities to obtain qualifications, to develop skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work and support in moving to a positive and sustained destination beyond school. College courses can help to deliver these entitlements and can provide a wider range of experiences and learning for young people in their final years of secondary education.

Vocational courses can have a very positive impact on young people increasing their self-confidence and self-esteem as well as supporting their transition into further education, training or employment.

Gordon CurrieHead of Education

Welcome

What is the East Dunbartonshire Vocational Programme?The purpose of vocational training is to help young people develop knowledge and skills and prepare them for future employment or higher education. East Dunbartonshire’s Vocational Programme offers young people a wide range of vocational options at varying levels. These courses are accredited by the SQA and provide young people with skills, knowledge and experience specific to the option subject and industry sector it represents.

“Schools, colleges and their partners should build a flexible system that offers personalisation and choice, providing clear and supported pathways for young people to make a successful transition and to continue learning throughout the senior phase.”

(Curriculum for Excellence - the Senior Phase: A Statement from the Curriculum for Excellence Management Board)

Who can apply for a place on the Vocational Programme?Places on the Programme are limited and there is a selection process. Schools will nominate suitable candidates in the first instance and college staff will interview these candidates to confirm their interest and suitability for their chosen course. The interview also provides an opportunity for the young person to ask any questions or raise any concerns that they may have. If courses are oversubscribed your name will be added to a reserve list and you will be notified if a place becomes available.

You will notice all courses have entry level requirements; you should be working at the appropriate level in school and have a keen interest in your chosen course choice.

You should be:• Well mannered, mature and well behaved at all times• Prepared to fully participate in all aspects of the programme• Prepared to accept and abide by the Vocational Programme and College Codes of Conduct

How is the Programme Delivered?All courses will run for one year and will be delivered over two school afternoons. The courses are normally delivered at college within as real an environment as possible, e.g. Construction is delivered within a workshop setting. East Dunbartonshire Council works in partnership with several colleges in the surrounding area. You may be required to attend a different school (transport will be provided) within EDC for some courses, depending on demand.

Backgroundand General Information


AttendanceIt is important to emphasise that joining the Programme represents a commitment to undertake and complete the chosen course. All courses will run on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons from 1.15pm – 4.20pm. Pupils are expected to continue to attend college during prelim and exam leave where possible.

TransportIf transport is required, young peole will be collected from school by bus or taxi and taken to college. In most cases, transport is shared amongst school groups. Classes will begin between 1.15pm and 1.30pm and finish between 3.30pm and 4.20pm. Young people are required to make their own way home from college. However, their are two exceptions to this rule due to the lack of availability of public transport/distance from school. Young people from Bearsden/Boclair/Douglas Academy attending East Dunbartonshire Campus of Further and Higher Education (EDCFHE) will be provided with return transport back to school. Similarly, young people attending Cumbernauld College will be transported back to school.

Some young people may wish to make their own way to and from college; please advise on the joining form if you do not require transport.

It is essential you apply for a Young Scot card and Travel Voucher. This will enable you to claim a discount on your return travel from college. You must be able to provide proof of travel by receipt of a valid ticket submitted to the school office in order to be reimbursed. If you are not 16 yet you can use your Young Scot card to prove your age to claim a half fare. You will also get other benefits that come with a Young Scot Card.

Please ask your school office for an application form or telephone 0141 578 8695.

Please note: You will only be reimbursed at the discounted rate of travel even if you buy a full price ticket.

PPESome of the Vocational Options will require young people to operate equipment under supervision and use tools of work in certain specialised areas. Equipment known as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be issued to young people by the Programme. Young people must bring the PPE on each college day and must wear the PPE as instructed.

How will a Vocational Course benefit me?Vocational courses are intended and designed to help you progress your chosen career path, further education and/or training. This is done by developing skills recognised and associated with today’s workplace. You will enhance your core skills and improve your personal and learning skills:

• Attendance and punctuality• Time management• Analysing and problem solving skills• Evaluate progress i.e. strengths and weaknesses• Working with others• Customer care• Develop a positive attitude to learning

Some of the Vocational Options will contribute to entry level requirements for further education i.e. HNC/HND/1st Year Degree at University.

The Education service is working closely with Colleges and Skills Development Scotland to identify suitable courses leading to new and exciting careers.



ReportsA report detailing a young persons progress at college will be issued to parents/carers; you can expect to receive one progress report throughout the duration of the course alongside your normal school report.

National Units and AssessmentsEach Vocational Course consists of a number of National Units. Achievement will be assessed at key points throughout the course; assessment will involve a variety of approaches including gathering folios of evidence, personal records, short tests and activity checklists. To gain a course award, young people are required to complete successfully all of the Units which make up the course.

All young people will receive certification from the SQA of the award they have undertaken.

UCASUnfortunately, Scottish Standard Grade and Intermediate 2 qualifications no longer attract Tariff points meaning applicants seeking entry to Higher Education can no longer include these qualifications in their Tariff score. Equally, NPA SCQF Level 6 courses will not attract tariff points as there is no graded examination at the end the course.

Problems and DifficultiesIn the event of any problem or difficulties arising at college, the Vocational Coordinator, school and college will work together to find a resolution. Parents/Carers will be kept informed of any such situation via the school or Vocational Coordinator.

Completion of the ProgrammeIt is critical to mention that the Programme does not in any way prevent young people returning to school to complete a 6th year. However, after undertaking a Vocational Option, some young people have been keen to enter further education or an apprenticeship related to the training they have received. You will see next to the course options in this brochure, a range of different career options in relation to each individual course to help you decide if your chosen course will benefit your career path. Remember to visit the Senior Phase e-Prospectus webpage on GLOW and/or speak to your careers advisor to help you plan for your future.
