What to expect/course descriptions
The Rehabilitative Training Programme
The Rehabilitative Training Programme is for young school leavers between the ages of 18 to 22 years whose education profile would generally range from Junior Certification school programme to Applied Leaving Certificate Level.
Adults must live in CH09 area and are funding approved by the Day Opportunities Team in the HSE. The programme provides support during the transition from school to further education and or employment, the RT has an important role in working with the adults on developing personal independence and social skills. Adults are expected to travel independently to the course.
The RT programme implements the New Direction approach to service delivery which is based on the principles of person centeredness, community inclusion, active citizenship and high-quality service delivery. RTC offers an introductory Pre-Vocational Skills Training aimed at school leavers with a physical/sensory and or a mild learning disability.
The course duration is two years. The programme is designed to support adults to achieve a good life in accordance with their own wishes, needs and aspirations. Each adult on the programme is assigned a Keyworker who will support the adult throughout their programme duration. We offer QQI modules at Levels 1 & 2 and other personal development modules to complete formal and informal educational qualifications. Adults participate in optional modules such as Horticulture, Woodwork, Art & Drama. Some of these are delivered off site in the community.
The CDETB Employability Skills Programme is an 18-month programme, providing Introductory Vocational Skills Training within the CRC, to assist learners to achieve a QQI Level 3 Major Award in Employability Skills, a nationally recognised qualification.
Learners with special educational needs are offered high quality accessible education and training, with a clear emphasis placed on progression and personal development.
The Employability Skills Programme can be the ideal stepping stone for those students who have just finished school, but are not quite ready yet for employment or further education in a mainstream setting.
Access. Transfer and Withdrawls
Access, Transfer and Withdrawals Policy
· If you wish to transfer to a different programme, the CRC will review this on a case by case basis. We will consider the skills, knowledge and competencies required to successfully complete the course and see if the course will be a good match for you.
· Transfer requests must be completed in the first few weeks of a program starting. Late applications will not be accepted.
· Any learner wishing to complete a transfer should discuss this with the programme coordinator.
· If the learner wishes to proceed with the transfer, the learner should send the request to the Training Manager.
Progression - Progression Policy
- Each programme within CRC Adult Services will have a clear outline of progression routes available to learners which is called the Progression Statement. This will be given to the learners during their sampling and induction periods, in the Learner Handbook.
- The CRC will keep the records of learners and their accreditations for a period of 5 years to give to learners if they request copies of prior learning after they leave the programme and want to access other progression routes.
- To progress onto the next QQI level within CRC Adult Services, the learner must have passed the QQI modules and learning objectives undertaken on their current programme.
- A learner's keyworker will support the learner with applications and progression. The services of the CRC Community Link Officer can be utilised to facilitate the transition into community progression routes.
- Learners should discuss the progression options available with their keyworker, trainers, and/or programme coordinator. The findings of these progression options will be
formally recorded during progression meetings. Keyworkers can support learners attending open evenings and preparing for interviews
