About Us: Testimonial

1,659 students achieve a Level 2 qualification  

ICAN led an excellent project with our local work-based learning providers, developing an Entry/Level 1 Work Skills curriculum designed to engage some of their most vulnerable learners.

 

ICAN provided an end to end service, from developing attractive teaching materials in response to learners needs, through to assessment, internal verification and liaison with the awarding body. 

The results have been exceptional, with over 100 of the most vulnerable young people achieving Work Skills qualifications in the first phase and each organisation now mainstreaming the activities into their ongoing work.
