Step Up Case Study – College Connect+ - The key worker provided tailored advice and helped participant explore suitable pathways
College Connect Step Up case studies allow readers to hear from people who have been supported by the Step Up funded projects.
The participant enrolled on the project due to uncertainty about her future. She had interests in both sports and healthcare but insufficient grades to access Level 2 courses. She also faced emotional and academic challenges as English was not her first language and lacked confidence.
A key worker provided tailored advice and helped her explore suitable pathways.
The participant achieved Level 1 in both literacy and numeracy enabling progression to Level 2. She has chosen to pursue Level 2 Health and Social care with a focus on childcare. She now feels optimistic about her future and confident in her chosen pathway.
The participant said:
“The support helped me feel confident in making my own decisions about my future”.
