The introduction of Google For Education cloud technology has enabled us to develop a digital curriculum that ensures our students develop the necessary communication, collaboration, creativity and connection digital literacy skills required for future employment in a digital world.
CAREERS AND OUR CURRICULUM
All of our courses are carefully selected to create a curriculum that will meet the needs of the workforce of the future. We monitor the regional, national and international job market to understand what future roles will need to be filled and ensure our students are trained to fill those roles. Petroc has a particularly strong focus on Technology and Engineering; Health, Social Care and Education; and Creative Arts and Enterprise which are all areas viewed by the Government as being in demand both nationally and locally.
As well as a focus on developing a curriculum fit for the industries of the future, we also consider how we can continue to make subjects even more topical and relevant to the issues of today - for example, with an ever-growing focus on sustainability and the environment, we ensure we weave suitable modules into our courses.
