Pearson offers a range of learning opportunities which, together with work experience, enable learners to achieve qualifications to prepare them for successful careers.

WorkSkills from Edexcel is a new suite of flexible units that will equip learners with key abilities for the workplace. The units have been designed to fit in with skills you may already be teaching, so additional timetable demands are kept to a minimum.

Safe Learner award

The Safe Learner award has been developed to prepare learners for the risks and hazards in the workplace and help them stay safe.

Adult Literacy and Numeracy

Over 1500 schools are already offering Adult Literacy and Adult Numeracy qualifications, which develop the functionality needed to be effective employees.

BTEC qualifications

BTEC qualifications are a popular choice amongst learners seeking to gain essential sector-specific skills and knowledge, and will open up progression routes for individuals.

Work placements

Trident has a well-established track record of supporting young people between the ages of 14 and 19 in preparing for life beyond the classroom. It aims to help young people improve their employability skills and develop as individuals, as well as making the work placement process as easy as possible for employers, learners, schools and colleges.

Trident offers the widest choice of national work placement opportunities across a range of industries and employers. Students are fully supported throughout the entire process, with Trident providing an invaluable link between each student and the employer. 

 
“We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Trident. Their placement service and the support they provide has always been helpful and efficient. The students that come in have been consistently enthusiastic and polite. We are proud to be helping out our local community and giving something back.”
