On 8 July the Chancellor announced exceptional funding as part of the wider Covid-19 skills recovery response to support 18 and 19 year-old young people leaving school or college this summer. The high value courses for school and college leavers are a one year offer for 18 and 19 year-olds. This is additional funding for colleges to deliver Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in specific subjects and sectors that enable a more productive economy and support young people to remain engaged with education, employment and training.

As one of the six committments made within Eastleigh College’s ‘Bounce Back Pledge’ we undertake to provide:

• a guaranteed place for all eligible full time 16-18 students whether school, or college leaver whose ambition is to pursue a professional or technical career through one of our courses.

We can now extend this to a one year fully funded offer from September 2020 for:

• 18 year-olds who already hold a Level 2 or Level 3 qualification and would like to continue their studies for a third year on a full time study programme
• 19 year-olds (19 years old on 31/08/2020) who hold a Level 2 or Level 3 qualification or are looking to upskill and develop career changing skills in the specified sectors on a full time or part time basis.

Eastleigh College is delighted to confirm that we are now taking applications for September 2020.
