14-19 Programme in Kent

14-19 education and training prepares young people for working life.  Though innovative and vocational approaches to the curriculum more your people can gain the skills to make them employable and raise their aspirations.

Kent County Council's role in planning and commissioning the 14-19 Programme includes six routes; International Baccalaureate, A level/GCSE, diplomas, vocational courses, apprenticeships and foundation learning.  These are delivered by schools, academies, further education institutions, work based learning providers and operational skills centres. 

For more information about how the 14-19 Programme is being implemented in Kent please contact Trinie Parsons on 01622 694322 or email trinie.parsons@kent.gov.uk,
