Every session of our Education Programmes breaks down pupil’s perceived barriers, and encourages them to dream big and aim high when it comes to their own career aspirations.
Its vital that young people have access to careers advice and guidance, and to educate them on the opportunities open to them in our local area.
With every session, we’re opening young people’s eyes to career opportunities they may never have dreamed of, and here’s how…
What we do in schools
We currently are running two programmes for schools, each designed to inspire and motivate pupils to succeed.
The sessions open pupil’s eyes to the types of careers available to them in their local area – and shows them that they can achieve anything they set their mind to!
Every session of the Education Programme breaks down barriers pupils perceive, and encourages them to dream big and aim high when it comes to their own career aspirations.
Pupils are excited to take part in interactive sessions, and always come away energised and with a whole new perspective on their own skills and capabilities…
What programmes are available?
Learning to Work
The Learning to Work programme is designed to provide schools with high quality career related learning and personal development support.
The programme is split into 5 sessions, each designed to give young people an opportunity to learn about themselves & explore opportunities.
Ready, Steady, Green
This project is aimed at inspiring children by highlighting potential career paths they could follow in the Low Carbon sector.
It will also educate pupils on how making green energy choices can affect them and benefit the community they live in.
