College Philosophy and Values

Lifeworks Work for us 2

All of our students have the ability to become active and valued members of their adult communities. We support learners to gain the independence, skills and understanding necessary to enable this to happen. 

We believe workplaces are richer when employing people with disabilities and are passionate in helping businesses to achieve this. There are many opportunities for all students to gain long term work placements when learning with us. Another key aim of the college programme is to place students on to a path leading to paid employment on leaving college.
