Vocational courses are designed to help young people learn in a practical way about a specific industry area - helping you get the skills needed to start a job, progress in a career, or go on to higher levels of education. 

Vocational courses are perfect if you enjoy practical learning and have a keen interest in a specific type of job role. Here at Stockton Riverside College we have a mixture of vocational subjects related to broad areas of employment such as business, IT, and health, and vocational courses that lead to specific job roles such as hairdressing, professional cookery, and trade, such as joinery or bricklaying.
