We are delighted to be partnering with Little Gate College by offering continuous placements for students on their Future Ready study programme: enabling these young people with Autism and/or Learning Disabilities to gain valuable experience of the world of work and develop skills.
As part of the partnership Biff, (Little Gates Employer Trainer) and Tracey-Anne (Client and Employer Engagement) delivered their Introduction to Little Gate College and Autism Awareness training to the staff team at Education Futures Trust, so they feel equipped and supported going forwards.
Education Futures Trust CEO, Zoe Jackson, commented on the new partnership "We’re thrilled to be partnering with Little Gate Farm to enhance their supported employment programme for students. At EFT, we believe in the importance of a diverse workforce to meet the needs of our service users, and we’re deeply committed to helping all young people achieve their full potential."
Little Gate is a supported employment charity enabling adults and young people with learning disabilities and/or autism to fulfil their work potential. This entails pre-employment training, work experience and routes into work through Supported Employment. The vision for Little Gate College is to improve the number of people with SEND who are in paid employment. Their Study Programmes will provide opportunity to a group of people who are currently underrepresented. To find out more about Little Gate College you can visit their website here.
