Vocational training and alternative curriculum options

Barnardo’s has a number of vocational training centres for 16-19 year-olds, many of which also offer an alternative curriculum for 14-16 year olds who show an interest in learning a vocation skill or are at risk of exclusion from school.

In Barnardo’s training centres, young people learn and work with experienced trades people, picking up relevant skills and attitudes which they will need in the workplace.
