STEPS - Employability
Entry 2 to Level 1
STEPS follows a ‘Preparation for Adulthood’ curriculum helping students develop their social, emotional and independence skills. Our aim is to build confidence and implement coping strategies for everyday life, whilst completing an Employability qualification in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Students will focus on real-life skills. Whether it’s learning how to get around town, figuring out how to access local services, getting better at working in teams or prepping for interviews, students will be gaining useful knowledge and hands-on experience to help you feel confident about facing the real world.
Effective communication skills, including active listening, clear verbal and written communication and conflict resolution are some of the vital skills needed in a customer service role. These are the skills that STEPs Customer Service aims to install into all of our students, providing them with best toolkit for the working world.
