Things to note
Focus is a programme aimed at 14 to 16 year olds who are identified by schools as more able to fulfil their potential by pursuing a vocational route outside the school environment. The Focus programme aims to equip students with the appropriate skills, experience and qualifications to participate in modern society at post 16.
The programme teaches young students in closely monitored, highly individualised surroundings. The students are taught skills, and gain experiences and qualifications that allow them to compete in the labour market. For some, the programme prevents social exclusion prior to adulthood, and instead enables them to join adult society as employable young people.
