WHY CHOOSE THIS COURSE
The Skills Academy will offer courses in the following areas:
- Health and Social Care
- Enterprise
- Construction – Carpentry/Joinery
Courses will be delivered over two days per week, providing a structured but accessible route into education and training for young people who may benefit from a different approach to learning.
The offer will combine the development of practical and transferable skills with the opportunity to work towards a recognised qualification. The emphasis will be on active participation, developing confidence and competence, and enabling learners to apply their skills in meaningful, vocational contexts.
Do you have a great idea, a talent for organising people or a passion for making things happen? The Level 2 Certificate in Developing Enterprise Skills at Shipley College turns that spark into real, practical skills.
You will explore what makes someone enterprising, then plan and run your own enterprise project. This could be a pop up sale, a charity event or a small business idea, and you will work with a team to turn it into reality. Along the way you will build confidence in communication, teamwork, problem solving, budgeting and leadership, and you will practise your English, maths and digital skills. You will also learn how to use AI and technology wisely.
You will then evaluate what went well, plan how to improve and see how your skills link to future study, work or self employment. Whether you dream of running your own business or want to stand out to employers, this course helps you learn by doing.
