College-Link aims to support young people from 16 to 25, with learning disabilities, through their post 16 stage of education and combine this with life skills, employability skills, social skills, confidence building and work experience. Thereby helping each individual achieve their full potential. Our approach enables young people with Autism, Special Education Needs and Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs to continue their education and develop skills in preparation for adulthood.
We aim to break down barriers that hinder access to paid employment for people with a learning disability and autistic people Developing employment possibilities for students and giving them the tools to thrive, is at the core of our vision. We deliver an Education and Life Skills Programme, Personal Development, Employability, and a Professional Services to raise awareness around learning disability in the wider community.
We focus on a pathway designed over a 1- or 2-year period to supplement a student’s journey as they move through college, join community groups, progress to volunteer work and ultimately onto employment. Independent careers support and guidance, plus intensive working with the family, ensure that strong transitional arrangements on to college placements or into other educational settings are very successful.
