THE BEGINNING.

It is important for us to understand where the young person currently is in the world, their safe place and their passions. We look at what triggers them and most importantly, how has their life journey so far created their normal. It is only once this is understood that we can co-create a way for them to be their version of successful and break down those barriers to get there.

Part 1 - FIND THEIR SPARK
Learning where the Young Person is in the World

We will work with the young person to gain their trust and unpick who they are, what they want out of life and the barriers to that achievement.   They can have a go at lots of practical things to see what they would like to do or concentrate on things they already know they love.

Part 2 - IGNITE THEIR SPARK
Skills Development & Training

We will select identified interests for training.  Employability, functional skills and other accredited elements are introduced into delivery as we develop interest for progression.

They can work towards an accredited outcome through NCFE (Functional skills Maths, English, Award in Employability Skills,  Award in Enterprise Skills)  Additional Gateway qualifications in practical subjects will be available based on the journey we create with the young person.

These are themed in the following seven areas:

CREATIVE INDUSTRIES (Art, Music and film)       

ENGINEERING, MECHANICS AND WELDING           

CONSTRUCTION AND THE BUILD ENVIRONMENT  

HAIR AND BEAUTY           

FUNCTIONAL SKILLS (Maths and English)           

HOSPITALITY AND CATERING 

SPORTS &  ACTIVE LEISURE

Part 3 - SHARE THEIR SPARK
Community Project or Supported Work Experience

They will use the skills learned to undertake a social/community/enterprise project or partake in supported work experience so you can understand how the skills learned are used in the real world. The main point of this part of the delivery is to show others, but more importantly themselves all they can do and how incredible they are.

We will also include elements of Information, Advice and Guidance including progress route.

"A spark can ignite an entire forest"

Pushforward work with those young people that others have given up on. Those that don't fit the mould of traditional education and need to be engaged differently.
