Progress and Welfare Coaches
'Our aim is to support every student, to raise their aspirations so they succeed at college and in the wider world'
What is the role of a coach?
Each full-time student has a coach, whether they are studying further education, or a university-level higher education course.
What they do
- Monitor learners’ study programme progress
- Carry out one-to-one reviews
- Set targets to stretch and challenge learners
- Work alongside the Safeguarding team and Additional Learning team to support all learners
All further education learners have weekly timetabled personal development sessions, which is a compulsory part of the main study programme. In these sessions a range of subjects are covered, such as:
- Learner attendance, progression and personal development
- Equality and diversity
- British Values
- Setting SMART targets
- CV and application support (such as UCAS or job applications)
