Welcome to Barnet and Southgate College

Whether your current aspiration is university entrance or an apprenticeship, the London jobs market is more competitive than

ever. Did you know that over 50% of all 13 to16 year olds see a future in just 25 job areas? At Barnet and Southgate College we will expand your horizons beyond these limitations and help you plot your future in line with the diverse variety of jobs that really exist across London and the South East. Have you received any careers advice from your school? If yes, how good has it actually been? According to Ofsted three quarters of schools fail to provide impartial careers advice, so it is possible that you are looking at this guide not knowing how valuable the right pathway and qualification will be for your future earnings. Here at Barnet and Southgate College we are offering courses and careers advice that produce economically valuable skills for our changing world.

Many young people aren’t fully aware of the breadth of jobs and careers that are available within our capital city and that’s why I am proud to say that we link the majority of our 1,500 courses to a specific career pathway or academic/university route; we want to help you achieve your goals; whether that’s getting the right job or apprenticeship or going onto higher education. Integral to this is giving you the correct careers support via our onsite careers advisors, student support services, mentors, an exclusive partnership with REED jobs service and our new, online Career Coach toolkit (see page 8 for more information).

Therefore for us, being in step with the needs of our local economy and working closely with

our strategic partners is vital to adapting the content of our course curriculum to ensure the modules are relevant to job skills and university progression. In addition, creating parity of esteem between academic and vocational training is also a priority for us so that we address the continuing mismatch between existing skills being taught and the future skills employers are demanding for the jobs that are likely to be on offer. Deconstructing pre-conceived perceptions around vocational industries and stereotypical roles, working closely with local employers, economists and employment advisors; are all vital components to our continued success. I believe that here at Barnet and Southgate College you can be proud of your chosen vocational qualification.

As part of our approach we analyse the jobs market across all relevant industry sectors; actively filling any local skills gaps that may be developing with the appropriate courses and subsequently the trained students for the job. We offer a broad range of full and part time courses in: A Levels, foundation degrees, technical and professional qualifications, vocational training, work skills training, apprenticeships plus education and employment pathways for people with learning difficulties and disabilities.

We’re one of the largest colleges in London with over 19,000 students, delivering more than 20 subjects across three main campuses. Joining us means being part of a large and vibrant community that benefits you as you prepare for the workplace or university. This diverse environment offers an excellent opportunity to meet a broader horizon of people and a larger College brings with it bigger and better facilities, with state of the art campuses, one of which is about to be totally transformed and relocated to a brand new five storey building close to Colindale tube station (see page 11).

The College is very much part of the local economy and addressing the economic and educational needs of the local area is paramount to us. Did you know that each year we contribute £268.2 million to the local London economy and as a College we create significant positive benefits; society will receive £4.20 in return for every £1 invested in the College – that’s an average annual rate of return of 16.7%.

In turn, UK taxpayers will see an average annual rate of return of 14.4% from their investment in the College. The accumulated impact of former College learners who are currently employed in the regional workforce amounts to £240.8 million in added income in the local economy each year. Altogether, the economic impact of Barnet and Southgate College to the local business community in the local economy is a staggering £268.2 million each year. In return, society in the UK will receive a present value of £880.7 million over the course of our students’ working lives, in the form of an expanded tax base and a variety of social benefits related to reduced crime, lower unemployment, and increased health and well-being.*

Employability and enterprise are at the core of what the College is all about and as part of this we seek out relevant partnerships and work with organisations such as the Peter Jones Academy. Work placements and industry experience are integral to most courses across all departments and it’s this vital experience that gives our students the competitive edge when looking for a job, securing a place at their chosen university, or having the inspiration to re-train at College for a new career.

The future economy needs a vocational and technically skilled workforce as we prepare students for jobs that don’t even exist yet. At Barnet and Southgate College we will expand your horizons and help you align your skills with the variety of jobs that are actually out there.

In a world where you can be anything, the most important thing is to be who you want to be. Make a start at Barnet and Southgate and join our friendly, supportive and successful college.

I look forward to meeting you.

How to use this guideIt is increasingly important that you start thinking about your future career path early so that you can develop the most appropriate skills that employers want, ensuring you have a simpler journey into the world of work.

We have developed this guide with that in mind, helping you to explore the possibilities of future careers you may want to follow.

• If you are sure you want to study A Levels – then turn straight to the A Level section on page 24 to see the wide range of choice we offer. This also shows you the range of universities our learners progressed onto.

• For those of you that have an idea of the type of industry or sector you would like to work within, we have categorised the rest of our courses into recognised sectors/industries.

• If you need to improve your GSCE results or generic skills then turn to our Foundation Learning section on pages 98

• If you need English language support via ESOL or EFL turn to page 100

• If you have specific learning needs, then please go to our Supported Learning Courses on page 102

Helping you to be who you want to be is central to our aim, that is why we have so much career support on offer for you, including independent Career Advisors on each campus, an online Career Coach tool linking our courses to career pathways, expected earnings and live vacancies, and Reed NCFE on site. See pages 5–9 to find out more.

There are a lot of career pathways out there, and due to the historical poor standard of careers advice available to students, this means that many students are not fully aware of the breadth of jobs and careers open to them. Therefore at the end of each course profile, we have tried to demonstrate the types of careers that studying your chosen course could lead to. However, there are various different paths and rarely one straightforward route, additional qualifications or criteria may be needed to enable you to progress into your career choice. This is meant as a guide only, if you would like further advice then please book an appointment with one of many Career Advisors.

If you are unsure about your future, then book an appointment with a Careers Advisor by calling:

Career Coach Barnet and Southgate College now uses Career Coach, a powerful software tool to help you to choose appropriate courses and work out what you might earn.

When you search for a course you will be given access to up-to-the-minute careers information, vital to help you plan your future.

Career Coach offers learners and advisors the chance to delve deep into the labour market before deciding on courses of study. It connects them to careers and employers, even approximating the wages they can expect to earn and the job security they are likely to encounter.

The software uses labour market data from developer EMSI’s unique dataset to observe market patterns and predict trends. These patterns are organised and compiled into a straightforward tool that any learner can use.

Career Coach shows learners and advisers how to get wherever they want to go, puts critically important job information at everyone’s fingertips, and is now incorporated into all of our full time and part time online course listings.

Information for parents In September 2013 the education leaving age rose to 17 and in September 2015 rose again, to 18. However, post 16 education doesn’t just mean staying at school full-time: you can stay at school, go to college, or take up an apprenticeship or a part-time training course. You can earn money and learn new skills at the same time if you want to.

Our A Level Department is the second largest provider in the Barnet and Enfield areas, which provides those who wish to progress onto Higher Education with a clear route. However, for many students academic routes are not the most appropriate option; with an increasing number of vocational and professional education programmes on offer there are now other exciting pathways which lead students to greater success and fulfilment in their working life.

A recent Edge Foundation survey discovered that many young people are being actively discouraged from opting for vocational and professional education - with just a quarter of parents (27%) judging it to be worthwhile*. This is despite evidence that people who choose a practical, hands-on approach to learning are as fulfilled as people who took an academic route.**

Additionally, research from the 2012 First Steps to Wealth Report, illustrates that the lifetime earnings of a graduate are comparable with the lifetime earnings of many former apprentices - for example construction apprentices earn a total of £1,504,000 over their life time compared with £1,612,000 for a graduate,*** dispelling the fear that university degrees lead to much higher life time incomes.

The survey identified that many students (22%) are being advised by parents and schools that they are ‘too clever’ for vocational and professional education. Only half (51%) of parents encouraged their child’s choice to pursue vocational qualifications, compared to three quarters (74%) who were happy to support their child through an academic route.

This highlights a growing problem: you as parents are not getting access to the most up to date career information to allow you to make informed choices about your children’s future. We understand that parents remain the biggest influence on their children’s education (44%), so we need to equip you with the knowledge and skills to be able to give sound, informed advice about the options available for your child. There continues to be a stigma attached to vocational and professional education which is unfounded. This country has a huge challenge ahead in ensuring that our children are equipped with the right skills to ensure a successful workforce of the future, and parents are part of that journey. It is essential that parents understand the future job market and therefore enable and encourage their children to train appropriately so they do not become another number in the endless list of university graduates that cannot secure employment.

Barnet and Southgate College recognise parents as a valuable source of information to help us provide you with the detail to make an informed choice about your child’s future education and progress. We want to know what is it you want from us in terms of advice and guidance and how we can help you to better advice your children. With this in mind we have developed various communications channels for you to engage with us.

Coming soon... new Colindale Campus for September 2016The brand new College campus will form part of a major regeneration scheme in Colindale.

The new site will be a relocation of the existing Grahame Park Campus, on Grahame Park Way, to Lanacre Avenue, which is a short 5 minute

walk from Colindale tube station. The accessible, urban location of the new campus and its close proximity to Underground and bus links ensures an improved experience for new and existing students and the local community.

It forms part of a £550 million plan to regenerate the wider Grahame Park area; including 22,000 new residential dwellings. Building works began in February 2015 and the new campus will be ready for the start of the academic year in September 2016.

The new modern facility brings education and training closer to the local community; with better facilities and a state of the art learning environment. This will include the Construction Technology Centre for the College’s brickwork, carpentry and joinery, plastering, wall and floor tiling and plumbing courses. The Centre will also offer access to cutting edge facilities in line with industry

advancements and will support skills development and progression through to higher level qualifications. The new Skills Centre will also include ‘The Salon’, a training hair salon open to the public to feature the College’s hairdressing and barbering courses.

Additional community services at the new campus will include a new London Borough of Barnet Public Library and a new ‘hub’ for the Barnet Centre for Independent Living (B-CIL). B-CIL is a hub centre to provide support and advice for people with disabilities in respect of a range of matters such as advocacy matters, life skills, computer skills and employment. It is a centre run largely by people with disabilities for people with disabilities.

The new Colindale Campus offers contemporary educational facilities within a new flexible purpose-built building that showcases education and gives the College a brand new identity in the local area.

“We’re proud of securing an investment that creates an outstanding College asset in the heart of this major regeneration development. This is great news for our students and good for the community as a whole. The move might only be about half a mile on the map, but it’s a world away in terms of the opportunities it offers for the future of the College. We have room to expand and can improve our facilities to deliver a real 21st Century learning experience.”

David Byrne Barnet and Southgate College Principal

Apprenticeships & Traineeships

ApprenticeshipsApprenticeships refer to on-the-job training, which leads to a nationally recognised qualification, developed by industry experts. They provide an ideal stepping stone to your chosen career or further education.

Apprenticeships generally fall into one of four categories:

• Intermediate Apprenticeships equivalent to Level 2 (or GCSE level);

• Advanced Apprenticeships equivalent to Level 3 (or A Levels);

• Higher Apprenticeships – equivalent to Level 4/5 or degree level.

• Trailblazer Apprenticeships - standards developed by employers for specific job roles.

Your training would normally include:

• A knowledge based element (Technical Certificate);

• A competency based element (NVQ);

• Transferable or functional skills (such as: English, Maths, IT);

• A module on employment rights and responsibilities;

• A module on personal learning and thinking skills;

• One to four years to complete (depending on the scheme and the ability of the Apprentice).

We offer Apprenticeships in a number of sectors including:

• Accounting

• Automotive Technologies

• Business Administration

• Customer Service

• Construction

• Hairdressing

• Engineering

• IT & Digital Technology

• Hospitality

Once you start your Apprenticeship you will be appointed an assessor who will work in partnership with you to make sure your training is going well. Your assessor will also update your employer on your progress and vice versa.

TraineeshipsTraineeships are training programmes to help students gain the skills needed to prepare for and secure an Apprenticeship and sustainable employment.

Employer feedback consistently reports that young people who apply for vacancies often lack work related skills and attitudes. Traineeships help develop skills through work preparation training, work placements, and by improving English and Maths.

Is a Traineeship for me?

You must be:

• 16-24 years old;

• Not currently in a job and with little work experience - but still motivated, focused and willing to learn;

• Qualified below Level 3.

What takes place on a Traineeship?

You will be trained in skills such as:

• CV writing

• Interview preparation

• Job searching

• Self-discipline and inter-personal skills

A work placement will provide you with employment experience, developing your workplace skills and providing an opportunity for you to prove yourself to an employer. English and Maths skills will also be taught if you have not achieved a GCSE Grade C or equivalent in these subjects.

For further information please contact: [email protected] or telephone 0208 266 4333.

A word about... English and MathsWe believe that a sound grasp of English and maths is a pre-requisite for the best chance of progression, whether that’s university entrance or employment. Don’t just take our word for it: according to employer surveys on job readiness, the need for English and maths skills is a major factor in recruitment decisions.

It isn’t all about jobs either. Achieving a good grade GCSE or Functional Skills qualification in English and maths sets you on a positive path to better health and financial wellbeing throughout your life.

So here at Barnet and Southgate we will offer you a supportive environment in which to brush up on English and maths skills so that you achieve your goals. Our technical and professional programmes include mandatory components for those students who need them. Our specialist staff, some of the very best in their field, will be on hand to help! Don’t worry if you found these subjects difficult at school - it is a completely different experience at Barnet and Southgate, where we offer you a personalised online course in both English and maths.

If you haven’t yet achieved a grade C or above in English and maths GCSEs you will need to continue studying the subjects. However, you will be able to study English and maths alongside your core chosen subject as a key part of the study programme.

In addition, the participation age for education and training has been increased to the age of 18. But this does not mean that you have to remain at school. You can study at college, either in the classroom or as an apprentice whilst continuing to study your maths and English GCSE.

Students with a GCSE D or Functional Skills Level 2 will be able to retake to gain a C. Students that have a C but require an A-B grade for university or employment can take the GCSE again while on their course. Many students will be enrolled on a Functional Skills English/maths class, this will help them develop and do a GCSE course the following year.

We ensure that all students have access to an online learning course for both English and maths and that personal tutors and English and maths teachers support them to make good use of this.

Key Changes to GCSEs and A Levels?

The new qualifications will:

• Provide a stronger foundation for further study and employment, keeping pace with the demands of universities and employers.

• Support students in developing the knowledge, skills and values they need for life in modern Britain.

• Match the standards of the best education systems in the World

The new GCSEs will:

• Be awarded in grades from 1 up to 9, with grade 9 being the highest grade

• Be an exam assessment at end of 2 year course of study

A good pass is equivalent to 5

The new A Levels will:

• Equip students to progress to success at university and in their careers

• The AS will be separate from the A Level, so that the AS marks do not count towards the A Level grade

AS qualifications

• Students can take an AS in an extra subject for breadth, alongside A levels in their main subject choices

• Students can still complete the AS and use their results to help decide which subjects to continue to A level.

Technical Baccalaureate A Tech Bacc may help you to get there

There is a lack of high skilled workers in the UK; this is because not enough people are learning high level technical skills alongside academic skills. The Tech Bacc may be the solution.

The Tech Bacc (Technical Baccalaureate) is a new, professional and different way to learn, ensuring you gain the right combination of skills to get you into employment. It contains:

• BTEC Level 3 in either: Engineering, Computing, Digital, Sports Sciences, Business or Motorsports Technology

• AS/2 Extended Project

• AS/2 Core maths

• Internship

Take your own path

This is a challenging study programme, so only those with the right attitude and career ambitions will be invited to join this unique and specialised pathway

Don’t be pushed into something that isn’t right for you, A Levels is not the only academic route to your chosen university and/or career.

Once you gain the Tech Bacc suite of qualifications and experience you will be able to progress onto university, into employment or into a Higher Level Apprenticeship.

Save the ChildrenThe College is proud to be supporting Save the Children in 2015–2016.

Students and staff were asked which charity they thought most suitable for the College to support from a choice of eight others, and Save the Children got the most votes, in fact it was a unanimous decision. We will be supporting the charity with a calendar of fundraising events and hope to reach our target of raising £5,000 to support projects both in the UK and abroad.

As well as fundraising activities, students and staff will have the opportunity to get involved with a host of volunteering roles in the surrounding areas of all three College campuses. Local community initiatives such as the ‘Born to Read’ campaign in partnership with local schools helping young children to read. Plus other opportunities with young people and working in local charity shops.

About Save the Children

We save children’s lives.

We fight for their rights.

We help them fulfil their potential.

In 2014, Save the Children directly reached 17.4 million children with our work on the ground. The charity responded to 97 emergencies in 54 countries, and helped 53,000 children in the UK through our education programmes and our work to provide families with the basics they need. In spite of the UK being one of the richest countries on the planet, many children here are growing up in poverty, with devastating impact on their life chances. One child in five lives below the official poverty line, with some missing out on essentials like a warm home or nutritious meals. One in three of our poorest children leaves primary school without the core skill of being able to read confidently.

Businesses are operating in a world that is undergoing change at an incredible pace, whether it’s the latest IT developments or the changing international landscape in which they operate. That’s why our top priority is to offer courses that help train students in areas of emerging importance and opportunity and where we believe their skills will be in demand.

So what careers do our students progress to and aspire to? Well the honest answer is that studying business and computing opens up a range of opportunities. Take IT, Computing and Mobile Technology, it’s a vast industry employing 1.5 million people in the UK and over half a million new entrants are required to fill new roles over the next five years. The marketing workforce represents

approximately 2.4 per cent of UK employment and is particularly focussed on London where people in this field earn a higher average salary than elsewhere – a generous £47,000. HR professionals are also handsomely rewarded. It’s a smaller workforce but average salaries in this field are £44,000. Everyone knows that London is one of the world’s global financial centres and the Greater London Authority think that the 350,000 strong finance and insurance workforce in London will remain steady until 2036. London also has the largest number of people working in business administration – nearly half a million people in the capital consider themselves to working in this field.

There is a huge variety of work within the HESC (Health, Education and Social Care) sector, from nursing to childcare, social work to pharmacy. With ninety-five billion pounds spent each year on NHS England alone, good managers are as vital as good clinicians. The sector is increasingly in the spotlight and there is growing recognition of the central role it plays.

Health and social care employs around four million people across the UK – two thirds in health and the other third in social care. In London, there is one health worker for every thirty-four residents and one health establishment for every 1,000 people. Education employs around 2.7 million people. There is also a strong local labour market with 20,000 people employed in the sector in Barnet, Enfield and Haringey.

HESC workers are much in demand, as an example, in one month there were 248 jobs listed at Jobcentre Plus in health and social work in Barnet, Enfield and Haringey and 83 in education. In London as a whole, there were 2,334 vacancies for health and social care and a further 1,380 for education roles.

RELATED CAREERS

London is a hub for STEM jobs. In a given month, there were 78,400 vacancies in internet services, over 550 for engineering services and a further 520 for computer software.

Offering a comprehensive range of STEM courses with cutting edge technologies and industry facilities at our Southgate and Wood Street Campuses, we aim to bring science to life and to make it both interesting and accessible to as wide a range of students as possible.

Our courses enable you to explore a range of Science topics through scientific investigation and demonstration. Biomedical sciences, genetic engineering and the exploration of renewable energy sources are significant growth areas in the UK. However just one in six 16-18 year olds take science A Level and fewer people are studying computing, down 50% since 2003.

The success of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects at Barnet and Southgate College has been achieved through our dedicated and experienced staff. Students will benefit from a range of activities that enable top class learning to take place outside the formal classroom environment.

EngineeringDespite what you may think, the UK is great at engineering; its skilled and valued workforce are world class and engineering makes a vital contribution to the UK economy. However, at all levels of education, the UK doesn’t have either the current capacity or the rate of growth needed to meet the forecast demand for skilled engineers by 2022.

By 2022 there will be 257,000* new vacancies in engineering enterprises and the importance of engineering is significant not only economically, but also for employment, as for every new engineering role an additional two jobs are created in the UK economy.

The choice of careers within the engineering sector is vast; for mechanical engineering alone there are expected to be 6,310 new positions in London by 2020, with an average salary of £44,324 per annum.

In fact, as the numbers of 20 to 64-year-olds who are the most economically active sector of the UK population declines, there is a distinct shortage in the pool of future engineering talent needed in order to meet the demand for engineering skills and to remain a global economic competitor. The UK is going to urgently need more young people to take up engineering over the next five to ten years, ideally doubling the number entering to study and work in the sector. The turnover of UK engineering enterprises is substantial, at £1.06 trillion in the year ending March 2011: that’s 23.9% of the turnover of all UK enterprises and over three times the size of the retail sector. It’s a booming industry, which you could be part of.

We’re living in an age where an alarming 86% of business and IT professionals globally believe there is a shortage of cyber security professionals and 46% expect that a cyber-attack will strike their organisation in 2015, but only 34% think they are prepared.

Cyber security is recognised as a priority for governments and large organisations throughout the world. State-sponsored cyber-attacks are widely reported and whilst the responsibility for them is usually denied, what is far more certain is that cyber-attacks on the national critical infrastructure and the theft of the intellectual property of large organisations are increasing. The Cyber security courses coming soon at the College will combine theory and practice and will be taught by a team of specialist staff in purpose-built computer cyber security laboratories.

Retail and Customer Service

The hair and beauty industry itself turns over £6.2 billion a year in the UK and employs over 245,000 people. In London alone, there are around 43,000 salon managers and owners, 21,000 hairdressers and barbers and over 20,000 beauty therapists. The industry also has over 1,500 nail technicians and 950 mobile beauty therapists.

As you can see, it is a popular line of work but is there room for new talent? If you come to Barnet and Southgate College, will all that hard work be worth it? In terms of location, our students are well placed. One in six hair and beauty businesses are in London, and there are vacancies in London and across the UK, where a fifth of salons were looking for staff.

Interestingly, one in 10 salons said they had a gap in skills that they need to be filled. They were looking for people who can treat customers professionally , work well in a team and explain information clearly face to face, on the phone or in writing. This is a big focus for us. You will learn on the job at “The Salon” or “The Spa”, our commercial, industry-standard facilities. This will give you real work experience with clients, a team and being in a bustling, demanding work place.

You’ll also be put through your paces as we love entering competitions. Recently our students made the grade as national finalists in the Student Electrotherapy Beauty Therapist Awards, beating hundreds of entrants from around the country.

From September 2016 we are opening our doors to a brand new training Salon in the new Colindale Skills Centre. From there we will be running all our Hairdressing courses and some Barbering courses. For more information turn to page 11.
