Notice Title

21-16 Soft Skills Sessions for School Year 9 or Year 10 Students

Notice Description

The University of Wolverhampton holds the Aspire to HE (Higher Education), Uni Connect contract with the Office for Students which funds the programme - 'the Project' or 'Programme'. 'Aspire to HE' is a partner-based consortium which will deliver sustained, progressive, intensive outreach activity to targeted cohorts of learners (years 9 to 13) in identified Wards to increase the numbers of students from disadvantaged backgrounds entering Higher Education. The measure of success is the progression of young people onto courses of prescribed Higher Education. The key aim is to increase the rate of young participation in HE in the target Wards: 'young participation' is defined as the proportion of the cohort that enters HE at both 18 and 19 years of age. Expectations for Delivery We would like to offer this opportunity to either the Year 9 or Year 10 year groups across 38 of our partner schools who are based around the Black Country and Telford and Wrekin, within the academic year 2020/2021. Each individual school will choose which out of the two year groups will receive the intervention, based on where they feel the need is - with the intervention being the same for either year group. Delivery of the intervention to schools will commence after the Easter break 2021 and must be completed by the end of the school term, 21st July 2021. The organisation will need to deliver an intervention which supports students to develop their soft skills (such as teamwork and communication) and enables students to apply their new skills in the future.
