Work Related Learning and Transition
Holbrook School for Autism collaborates strategically with key partners, including Esteem MAT schools, the Careers and Enterprise Company and D2N2, to build sustainable links with industry, community businesses, and stakeholders. We’ve established strong relationships with employers, providing work placements and work-related learning opportunities. Additionally, we work closely with further education colleges, specialist training providers, and disability-confident employers.
Our students transition to a variety of destinations, guided by their individual needs and pathways. We ensure that each transition aligns with students’ Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP) and their personalised Holbrook Futures Plan.
Our Careers Programme focuses on raising aspirations, building self-belief, and developing essential skills in functional communication and independence, all vital for adulthood. We are dedicated to expanding our students’ cultural capital while challenging stereotypes and removing barriers in their transition and Futures planning.
