The programme is designed to provide primary schools with high quality early career related learning and personal development support.
Using interactive games and activities, the experienced team work hard at perfecting the sessions to complement the KS2 curriculum.
What is involved in the Learning to Work programme?
The programme is split into five sessions which run across five half-days, each designed to give young people an opportunity to learn about themselves and explore opportunities available for them when they leave school.
The impact of the Learning to Work Programme
The programme has supported children across the Borough and helped them to identify their own skills and strengths and connect them with local businesspeople to show them what types of jobs they can do when they grow up.
With an endless amount of positive feedback from students and teachers over the current academic year, we want to continue to support the next generation by encouraging them to dream big.
The programme aims to encourage curiosity, boost self-confidence and positively change the perceptions pupils may have about themselves by making them realise their own potential.
