Description
Summary:	Students need to come to the workplace with Personal Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS) as much as subject knowledge. This programme shows the importance of the Functional Skills of English, Maths and ICT within the diplomas. Two consortia in Birmingham are preparing to pilot the new Secondary Diploma lines in Engineering and Creative & Media and see how they are ensuring that the PLTS become integrated into the diploma curriculum. The Creative & Media Diploma consortium are preparing their Year 9 students a year in advance of the diploma by implementing aspects of the PLTS into their current lessons and by involving them in a fashion project similar to the one they will be doing in the following year. The Engineering consortium is at the stage of designing the modules and ensuring each one has aspects of the PLTS.
