Strathmore college provides all students with comprehensive Careers Advice, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG), enabling them to make informed choices about their future options. We use every opportunity to provide a wide range of experiences and link with partner agencies to provide the necessary information.
We use all aspects of the curriculum to reinforce skills and capture emerging talent as leaners develop and realise their own potential.
College café – Ansley Tea Rooms
Working in partnership with the local Council and Queens Park Partnership, Strathmore College manages Ansley Tea Rooms. The café in Queens Park, ten minutes from our main site, provides the community with a welcome place to rest and refreshments, open all year round. It also provides local people social and volunteering opportunities for those who need extra support.
Our students are involved in all elements of the day-to-day running of the café, including handling money and serving members of the public. This provides excellent training for those looking to move into careers in catering, hospitality and customer service.
Community access
Our community access programme helps learners to develop a range of independence skills that will help them make a successful transition into the workplace. This may involve taking a trip on public transport, or practicing money skills when buying lunch at a local shop.
