"Three quarters of employers in the UK believe that school leavers aren't ready for the world of work"
CBI May 06.
We want to challenge 75% of employers in the UK by making young people MORE THAN ready for the challenges of working! This full-day programme is designed to give an in depth look into the skills students will need to embark on the next phase of their lives - whether sixth form, college, university, work or a gap year - these skills are all invaluable in taking the best advantage of what is on offer.
It's not just about using computers and phones - the way people carry themselves, interact and speak accounts for 93% of how we are perceived by others! We work on this to give people the advantage in the workplace and life in general!
Sixth formers will really benefit from the skills they will learn here - focussing on their futures, how to prepare for interviews, presenting themselves and making the best of their opportunities.
As with all of our workshops, the active nature of the programme means that the time will fly and students will leave with smiles on their faces and practical tools to help them with their future.
The day also covers positive thinking, career awareness, confidence building, personal presentation skills and tools that students can apply to all areas of their lives.
All activities on the Skills4Life programme can be tailored to the needs of your students - in terms of content, numbers and timings. The standard cost for the full day event is just £1500 for up to 120 students.
