Skills Connect Participants

The Skills Connect Academy supports young people aged 16+ by providing them with vocational-style training opportunities and solutions that prepare them for the world of work. We do this by involving these young adults in practical learning sessions during live Projects. The Educators that support our delivery are passionate about helping young people succeed and our delivery style creates a safe environment for them to develop these transferrable skills.

Skills Connect is a 3-day vocational training programme providing young people with an opportunity to develop and learn essential skills needed in the workplace. It can be delivered as a 1, 2 or 3 day programme:

• 1-day [stand alone] Essential Skills programme [Bronze];
• include day 2 for some practical taster sessions [Silver];
• include day 3 as young people can choose which practical element of an event they wish to be part of [Gold].

Skills Connect – Project

• A 26-week vocational training programme providing young people with an opportunity to develop, learn and deliver a Project of their choice.

Skills Connect – Changing Track

• A 2hr dynamic inclusive live roadshow providing young people with an opportunity to hear how high-level sports people deal with mental health and stress on their journey to success.

We appreciate and understand teachers and other educational individuals are busy enough so we don’t expect them to have to come up with solutions surrounding vocational training however if you believe there is a skill set we should be looking at developing a solution for, please do share your thoughts with us so we can look at how we solve the issue.
