Developing the Young Workforce. The College has a well-established partnership agreement with Scottish Borders Council’s Education Department for the delivery of course provision for the 9 Secondary schools and Wilton Centre. The College has provided a range of both vocational and academic subjects which enables pupils to develop their employability skills and gain qualifications. The subject areas range from Higher Psychology, construction, motor vehicle, childcare, sport, personal presentation, horticulture and rural skills. There were 574 Senior Phase enrolments in 2016/17. In total, the College had 1889 CREDITs of activity in 2016/17 inclusive of provision for winter and summer leavers. The College is a partner of the South East Scotland Academies Programme (SESAP) with ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ University and Edinburgh College and offers the Health and Social Care and Creative Industries academies. The academies enable pupils to attend college for part of a qualification with some attendance at the University and also a short work placement. The main purpose of the academies is to shorten the learner journey to college or university. There are 31 pupils enrolled across the 2 academies this year. This is a significant reduction on the previous years as a consequence of the reduction in funding available to the local authority, particularly for transport for the pupils to the University. The School/College partnership was reviewed and rebranded Borders College Schools Academy in 2015/16 and the offer of vocational programmes will continue to expand through to 2018, with several new courses delivered to school pupils. The school timetables are aligned to an asymmetric week, with college courses included within the column structure. This enables pupils to select the courses as part of their timetable, particularly a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Details of the range of programmes offered and the schools involved are detailed in the table below.
