Breakdown of the 12 Weeks:
Day 1: During the first day you will meet new people and do numerous fun activities to help you all get to know each other. The whole day will be very informal and you don’t have to worry about coming alone as there will be around 12 other young people in the same situation.
Weeks 1-2: During weeks one and two you will plan for the weeks ahead and set out what you want to achieve and how to gain your qualifications. You will also be planning for your residential.
Week 3: This is your residential week. You will be trying new things and learning how to work with others. The residential will include activities like canoeing, climbing, navigation training and more!
Weeks 4-6: You and the team will decide on a project that will benefit your local community and carry it out. This is an amazing opportunity to learn and develop new skills and will be great to talk about at any future interviews.
Weeks 7-8: These are the weeks you will be at your work placement. This is a chance to try out what type of work you are interested in and will develop your skills in the workplace. You will also be given a reference for your CV.
Week 9: During this week you will plan for your future. You'll be helped to write a fantastic CV, practice interview skills and make applications.
Weeks 10-11: The team will take on a challenge to help others in the community. This will test out all the skills you have worked on and developed so far.
Week 12: This is the final week. You and the rest of the team will give a presentation on your experience during the programme to an invited audience. This is a chance to see how far you’ve come during your time here.
