“The best bit of the course has been meeting new people. I’m more positive now and if I’m stuck, I have a different way of looking at and dealing with things”

“This course was incredible. I'm extremely happy that I’ve attended it. Right now, I feel like a completely different man. I'm motivated, confident and sincerely passionate about what's coming up in the future.”
Our Training Programmes
Over a six-month period, you will take part in:
- Individual mentoring. You will be assigned an individual mentor who will support you as you work out what you most want to do with your life. They will help you formulate an action plan to implement.
- A five-week course. The course will run for two days per week for five weeks. Working with a small group of about ten other young people, you will take part in fun games and activities, team challenges, and quiet reflective exercises. There will also be film clips and presentations.
- Post course follow-on training. You will attend three follow up training days over the remaining four-month period. These days offer further training, providing useful additional strategies to help you maintain your progress.
