An OTLA project by University College Birmingham that aimed to improve the reading skills of Post-16 Sports students who were resitting GCSE English by creating a community of shared practice comprising English and Sports lecturers.

Technical Route - Health and science :
One of the barriers to developing maths and English skills during work placement is a lack of awareness and in depth understanding of how maths and English GCSE’s and FS link to occupational areas within the 15 technical routes. These flyers attempt to summarise that mapping. Job roles are considered, recognising the importance of the technical skills that employers need plus promoting maths and English skills under calculation and communication.

This zip file contains the first drafts of fifteen flyers summarising the maths and English dimensions of a variety of technical and vocational areas. They were designed to help providers and employers to embed maths and English skills into their study programmes and work experience placements. Although these are still relevant there are now revised flyers that can be found on the Study Programmes Exhibition Site on the Excellence Gateway.

A template personal profile that deaf people can download and complete to give employers information about reasonable adjustments they might need in the workplace or for work experience. The zip file also includes a sample completed passport.
