Learning
We are passionate about delivering a learning experience which is appropriate to the needs of any young person looking to have a “Fresh Start” to take their first real steps towards achievement even when they have been told or they think they will never achieve anything!
We work on the person first and help them to work on their personal effectiveness which involves working on mindset, language, attitude, communication, key positive behaviours, self esteem, confidence and motivation.
Employability skills come next which involves them in deciding what they want from a job and taking appropriate action to get the best chance to achieve their goals.
When you put all of these skills together you have a Positive Employment Programme that works!
Some comments from young people who have attended our courses:
“This course has been very interesting and it has made me more confident. I enjoyed spending the time to get to know more about myself and working life. I would recommend this course to people my age as it would help them a lot. “
“I have enjoyed my time throughout this course and when I started this course I was the boy who always got into trouble and now I feel I have more responsibility.”
“I have had a brilliant six weeks, it’s went so quick. I have enjoyed everything and every minute of it and I would definitely recommend it for others. It has changed me for the better and I want to thank you both for everything.”
“I have enjoyed being here because I learned to be myself around others without being shy or nervous. I have changed my attitude I am more certain about myself and don’t judge others as much as before.”
Comments they hear frequently are :
“You’ll never amount to anything”
"You have the ability but you don’t use it”
“Your attitude needs changing, fast!”
“Why should I waste my time?”
“ You’ll never pass any exams as you don’t listen!”
“ You need to choose your friends carefully as you are starting to act like them!”
“You need to attend school as you’re heading for failure”
“You need to get enough sleep as when you’re tired you’re a real nightmare”
We need time to help young people get rid of the baggage and labels that they turn up with and it’s important that they learn in a motivational and supportive setting where they can learn to be themselves and rediscover some of their potential.
Comments we hear at the end of training:
"I'm a different person now"
" I've found out so much about me"
I now know I can achieve things I felt were never possible before"
"I'm a strategist and I didn't know I was!"
" I can be myself in front of others now and it's fine"
"I'm responsible for my own actions"
At the end of our courses we hear from many of the young people as they keep us up to date and we keep on feeding them with encouragement.
