Progress with Portland

We're working with Portland College to help you take the next step from college to employment

Inspire are working in partnership with Portland College at venues at Newark Library and Mansfield Central Library, to provide a tailored learner journey that can support you to develop your confidence, skills and experience further to help you transition smoothly into the workplace.

Progress at Porland is for people aged 19+ who have ceased their Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Learners must be 19+ on 31st August of the starting year. The programme can last for an academic year and focuses on core independence skills and work experience in an industry of your choice. You will also be able to improve your English and maths.

A typical week could be two days a week at college studying employability skills and then additional days on work placement.

For more information, enquire directly with Progress with Portland. To view upcoming course dates and venues, visit the Portland website.
