A WELCOMEFROM

THE PRINCIPAL

May I wish you all the best for your future and I look forward to welcoming you as you start your journey to career success.

Sue MiddlehurstSue Middlehurst Principal & Chief Executive

Throughout this guide you will find lots of information about the courses we offer, different career options and important facts about employment in different industries.

Over the next few years, according to our sources, there is expected to be almost 19,000 more jobs becoming available in our region. Now is the ideal time to train for your career so please take the time to read through this guide as I’m sure you will find it useful.

OUR PHILOSOPHY:TAILOR-MADECOURSES

5

Everyone is different...With this in mind we appreciate that no two learners are the same. For many years the tradition has been to match a learner to a course, but, as we all know, one size does not fit all!

Our courses are now tailored to meet the individual needs of every learner.All you need to do is apply for the subject of your choice and we will work out the level of course using your predicted and actual GCSE results and other qualifications. Maths and English are essential subjects, if you missed out on gaining an A-C grade at school these will be studied alongside your main course to give you more opportunities in the future.

Whatever level you need to start at, if you just missed out on a grade or if you need more stretch and challenge, our courses will be tailored just for you to ensure your learning success.

Making Grimsby Institute the perfect fit!


DOES MEAN?

WHAT

IT ALL

To help make this information as easy to understand as possible, here are some explanations of the different terms that we use throughout this guide:

Labour Market Intelligence (LMI) - Everyone is talking about LMI nowadays. It uses the trends and facts about an area’s past and present employment to predict what the future of an industry may look like.

Entry requirements - This means what qualifications or experience you will need to start at a certain level of the course you are thinking about.

Levels - We talk about levels in reference to our courses as a way to explain how difficult they are. As you train at each level your knowledge of that area will increase and we will ensure you are fully prepared to move up to the next level.

This is explained in more detail under Entry Requirements on Page 28. Our Further Education courses start at Entry Level and progress to Level 3 and in some areas Level 4.

Apprenticeships - Apprenticeships available in this area.

Throughout this guide you will find lots of information about the courses we offer, different career options and important facts about employment in different industries.

Jargon Buster

APFT

Statistics - Statistics are facts and figures that give you information in order to make informed choices.

Annual salary - Throughout the guide we give you an approximate idea of how much you could earn every year. We have also broken this down into how much you could earn at various points throughout your career in your chosen area.

Skills-base – These are the set of skills an individual has or may need in the future.

Skills shortage – This means that a certain industry or career area may have a shortage of people with the necessary skills to do a job.

Replacement demand – This means the number of people needed to take over the jobs of people who are leaving or retiring from a certain careeror industry.

Choosing the right place to study and train is a big decision and one that’s likely to impact on the rest of your life. It’s important that you think about what you want from your education and ultimately, what is going to give you the best possible chances in life and of securing your ideal job in the future.

Learning at the Grimsby Institute involves an element of work-related activity, whether that’s a work placement within a local business or working on real-life projects and getting hands-on experience in your chosen field.

55% of businesses in a recent study said that school leavers lack the right work experience and key attributes that will set them up for success. At the Grimsby Institute you will gain the skills you need, with CV boosting courses and opportunities that will show employers how you have the right skills and attitude to make a difference.

We pride ourselves on the close working relationships we have with local, national and international employers.

We make sure we provide our learners with the chance to undertake work experience opportunities that will give them just the skills we know employers are looking for.Of course, our facilities

reflect the industry you are training for; if you want to be a Hairdresser or Beauty Therapist you will learn in a real working salon, if you’re thinking of becoming an Engineer you could train in our Engineering & Renewable Energy Centre and, if you want to be a Chef, you could be cooking for customers in

The Gallery Restaurant.

getting to interviews and other study related costs. There is increased financial support for young people who are from vulnerable groups, specifically young people in care, care leavers and young people in receipt of income support and living independently, or

Scott decided to enrol for a BTEC Applied Science when he was offered a job as an Apprentice on a local refinery. Having developed a keen interest in space when he saw Comet Hale-Bopp in 1987, Scott has been inspired by his course and tutors and now hopes to go to university and study for a career in Astronomy. Scott said:“I was never a strong learner at school but I’ve now got a taste for education and have realised it’s something I really enjoy. My tutors have really inspired me to go to university and the course has given me background to Science that I refused to learn at school.”

BRICKWORK

CAREER AREAS

• Site Brickwork• Restoration Work• Stonemason• Demolition Operative• Brickmason• Block Paver

Bricklaying is a successful and rewarding career. The UK is currently in need of Bricklayers, with many companies finding there is a short supply of Bricklayers who have the relevant qualifications and skills to do the job. The number of houses being built is set to rise by 20.2% by 2018 so there is expected to be a high demand for Construction Industry Trades. There are lots of reasons why brickwork is a fantastic career choice; you get to work outdoors, you get to stand back and look at the results of your work, you’ll have freedom to travel and of course, bricklaying is an ideal way to keep fit!

Everything starts with one step, or one brick, or one word or one day.Jeremy Gilley

Sam, a former learner at St Andrew’s College, now the Holy Family Catholic Academy, is an Apprentice with APS Builders. Sam won 1st Place in Intermediate Brickwork at the Matchfit competition. Sam explained why he chose the Apprenticeship route and entered the competition:“I decided to apply for an Apprenticeship because I thought it was the best way for me to improve my skills and earn money while I was learning. It lets you build up your skills and knowledge of working onsite and with experienced bricklayers.

“For Matchfit we were given a plan of a model and then we had to build it. It was like a flowerbed with a soldier arch and soldier courses, a lot of technical work. It took me six hours to build it and I was confident that I’d done well. I feel really happy to have won.”

I used to go to Yarborough Academy when I was a child myself and while I was training in Childcare at the Grimsby Institute I volunteered at the school to see if I enjoyed it.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

A career as an Electrician is ideal for someone who is physically fit and doesn’t mind working in small spaces. But, if you like the idea of being out and about, going from site to site and getting stuck into the day’s work then being an Electrician is a cracking choice. Because of the inherent safety issues involved with electrical installations it is tightly regulated by the Government and has a strict set of qualifications that you must achieve in order to work as an Electrician.

As a result of this, it can be complicated to become a qualified Electrician, but that’s why they are in such high demand and short supply, this is why they’re among the most well-paid of all Construction trades.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Winston Churchill

Ellis, a former pupil at the Lindsey School in Cleethorpes, took part in the Level 3 Hair & Media Make-up Competition during her training, coming an overall 2nd Place with her dramatic crow-like creation. Ellis said: “We were asked to create an animalistic character with a fantasy element, so I decided to produce a crow or raven and make it look a bit gothic. The competition is great because it gives you an idea of what you can do and what you need to do to succeed.” Ellis’s success has seen her enrol at the University Centre Grimsby for the BA Special Effects Make-up for TV, Theatre and Film degree programme and she hopes to become a Special Effects Make-up Artist when she graduates.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN? Learners will take part in fitness sessions and adventurous activities and exercises as well as studying law, government and citizenship. Criminology, war and conflict and current affairs are also studied. Teamwork, fitness and leadership skills also form a part of the course. All learners will take part in work experience.

WHAT NEXT? Whether it’s the training we give you to successfully work as part of a team, or the residential visits we take you on with Armed Forces professionals, everything you learn is in a real-life situation that prepares you to go out there and get your dream career.

When you’ve finished the course you’ll be ready to go out and start work, but some of our learners progress to University Centre Grimsby, which will give you greater knowledge to take out into the workplace and can increase your chances of earning higher wages.

Sam is now training for the Royal Marines after originally applying to join at 16 only to be told, due to medical conditions, he would have to wait a year. Sam explained: “I wanted to do something that would stand me in good stead for the Marines whilst gaining qualifications at the same time so enrolled at the Grimsby Institute. “The wealth of experience the tutors have has helped me so much. The things they teach you mean that you go into your service better prepared for the task. The tutors were great at teaching us skills we would need for our future careers.”

Sam Benterman-Snell
