Practical training to help young people build confidence, employability, independence and meaningful pathways towards positive futures.

Preparing Young People for Positive FuturesBuilding confidence, independence, employability and meaningful pathways beyond Alternative Provision.

Join us for a half-day practical training session focused on how Alternative Provision and education professionals can effectively prepare young people for positive and sustainable futures.

For many young people accessing Alternative Provision, preparing for adulthood requires more than academic achievement alone. Providers have an important role in helping learners develop the skills, confidence, aspirations and experiences they need to successfully progress into further education, training, employment and independent adulthood.
