New Partnership College in North Wales

Post Reply New Topic

Hi Guys, I was reading online some good news about specialist services for those who have asperger's syndrome.

For those who don't know in 2007, the National Autistic Society launched a report calling for better support for young people during the crucial transition stages between school, higher education, training and employment. The ‘Don’t write me off’ campaign found that only 15% of adults with autism in England were in full-time paid employment, which could be greatly increased if the right planning, support and service is offered to people with autism during the transition stage.

Fast forward to 2012 and Priory Education Services has officially opened Priory Coleg North Wales, its new partnership with Yale College.
The specialist education provider, part of the Priory Group, has forged an innovative relationship with Yale College, to provide specialist educational facilities for students with Asperger’s syndrome and tackle the long-term employment issues associated with the condition.
Priory Coleg North Wales offers a comprehensive range of education, training and learning opportunities to provide the best transition into adulthood and the chance of a fulfilling and meaningful life for young people with Asperger’s Syndrome.
Priory Education Services has a successful record of working in partnership with Further Education Colleges for over ten years, with partnerships with local colleges in Frome, Swindon and South Wales. The success of Priory Coleg South Wales has encouraged the partnership to be established in North Wales which has led to the opening of the Priory Coleg North Wales.
