The Council is aiming to provide a suite of educational qualifications in addition to what they provide at the Educated Other Than AT School (EOTAS) provision that shall offer practical work life experience to the Council’s most vulnerable children in EOTAS and mainstream children, so they have every opportunity to achieve qualifications that support them into the wider world of work or a college pathway. Courses can include technical and vocational qualifications. Qualifications and courses can range from entry level upwards, from accredited to non-accredited. The courses will be delivered from a mixture of the new Centre for Skills for Learning in Pontllanfraith and external provision depending on the course provision. The Contract will consist of three (3) lots as set out immediately below:
