What does PUPIL offer?

The PUPIL Scheme is a child centred scheme designed to achieve employability skills through the format of soft outcomes for its beneficiaries which are measured through the implementation of the Welsh Assembly Government. The scheme provides learners with an opportunity to raise their awareness of community issues in their area within a more flexible learning environment consisting of numerous additional influences that they would not have access to through the curriculum. The aim of the scheme is to engage the young people in a pro-active format that allows them to express themselves and build self esteem through participation and interaction with each other and adults. The scheme aims to engage the young people with the community around them and give them a better understanding of their own responsibilities within a community while facilitating them with an opportunity to develop through participation. Through participating in the scheme the young people will have the opportunity to gain an Open College Network Qualification that is part of the Credits and Qualifications Framework for Wales (CQFW).
