The main aim of Harrison College is to prepare young people for the world of work

Each student will engage with a supported internship that is linked to their own Career Development Plan. Once the placement is agreed we ensure that regular visits take place so that we can assess progress against key employability skills.

We focus on Skills Builder, assessing students progress against the 8 essential skills for work and we are members of the CDI and NCW Ambassadors.
