ROC College is a specialist college that provides person-centered, community-based teaching and learning within Cornwall, Devon and Somerset. We work with young people between the ages of 16 and 25 who have Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
We deliver a range of personalised and accredited learning programmes that support students to transition into adulthood by developing independent living skills, providing therapeutic input and building employability skills.
Students at ROC College benefit from a flexible, personalised learning programme, tailored to their needs, goals, skills and interests. We get to know each student, what they want and what they need to learn for the future. We then work together to create a learning plan that works for the student.
Students are then placed on the employment pathway, where some will take part in traineeships and others will be on supported internships. Students also get to participate in work experience, while our team of Job Coach Mentors support them towards the ultimate goal of paid employment.
ROC College’s curriculum is varied and focused on the individual. Our programmes of study encourage the learning and practicing of a range of workplace skills with a particular focus on independence for each student at a level that is appropriate to them.
ROC College currently has learning hubs in Truro, Totnes, Torquay, Exeter and Honiton. Our education team includes Learning Mentors, Learning Tutors, Functional Skills Tutors, Curriculum Managers and our Senior Leadership Team.
ROC College is a part of United Response, a registered charity founded in 1973, whose mission is to ensure that individuals with learning disabilities, mental or physical support needs have the opportunity to live their lives to the full.
