Student Experience and Personal Development
The Personal Progress and Development (PPD) Programme at Solihull College & University Centre offers weekly sessions with Personal Development Coaches to help students reach their full potential. These sessions, which can be group tutorials or one-on-one checkpoints, focus on academic progress, confidence building, and resilience. Additionally, students have access to a range of specialist services and resources, including Safeguarding Officers, Career Advisors, and a comprehensive library.
Whilst here at Solihull College & University Centre, your young person will be given the opportunity to meet with their Personal Development Coach every week during a timetabled PPD session. This might be in the form of a group tutorial or as a checkpoint or even through the offer of a coaching session. Checkpoints are a valuable time in the year when Personal Development Coaches and students meet on a one-to-one basis to ensure every learner is making progress and fulfilling their unique unlimited potential. All students here at Solihull College & University Centre are supported by their Personal Development Coach but there is also a whole array of specialist services and staff to support them in their role. We have a wonderful community of Safeguarding Officers, Career Advisors, Work Placement Coordinators and Mental Health experts. Along with this specialist advice, guidance and support we also provide a fantastic and extensive Library and Open Access resource, to enhance all our learners study skills and academic progress.
Our Personal Progress and Development (PPD) Programme is one that we believe provides your young person with everything they need to reach their full potential both here at college and in their future career. The PPD programme lies at the heart of everything we do and is an enriched and extensive provision that provides the very best in pastoral care. Our Personal Progress and Development programmes have been designed to allow weekly contact with Personal Development Coaches in order to build positive pastoral relationships that enable your young person to progress and thrive. The PPD sessions intend to prepare them for lifelong learning and employment, to develop confidence to explore the world around them and build resilience to overcome challenges. PPD sessions enable students to develop confidence, resilience, values and become positive contributing members of society.
