  • Course Content


    During the 12 week programme you will:

    Get to know the other people in your team and take part in activities together to develop your confidence and gain valuable skills such as team building, communicating and problem solving. Go away for a one-week ‘residential’ where you'll work together to complete a range of challenging but enjoyable tasks. Work on a project in the local community. You and the team will choose the project, organise fund raising and deliver the work needed to complete the task. Gain work experience in a field you're interested in - we'll help you set this up. Get help writing your cv, applying for jobs and practising interview techniques. Take part in a team challenge doing fundraising and support for a local organisation. There will also be a presentation and awards evening at the end of the course that you and the team will plan and host.
