Abstract:
This research investigates the transitional experiences of a group of learners on a unique bridging programme between an FE and a HE college, the NAVET programme. The programme is unique because the learners attend subject specific lectures in the university while also attending the FE college and completing a full QQI Level 5 award. It focuses on the practices employed by the two colleges to support the transition for the learner, the practices that contribute to or take from the learners’ sense of belonging to the colleges and finally how the bridging programme facilitates the development of a revised learner identity
