Overview

The Bright Futures Skills 4 work, Skills 4 life experience is all about making young people more employable. The impetus is success in the work place and success in life. We bring first hand recruitment and employability experience into the classroom through a series of carefully selected activities.

This programme has been designed to meet 7 of the 9 elements of WRL. Our programme addresses simple things often taken for granted like how a simple handshake, or a person's eye contact can tell you so many things about them.

We look at positive and negative elements to the work place and create an atmosphere where students are comfortable to explore, challenge and discuss what the real world of work is all about.

We focus on 'hobbies & interests' as being important drivers for career planning as well as identifying simple yet invaluable non-academic skills that can be developed in school, paving the way for their success as young people joining the work place.

Our material is a combination of kinaesthetic activities designed to encourage team working and communication skills as well as some problem solving tasks that require lateral thinking and an innovative approach to creating a solution.  

We discuss how, reliability, a positive attitude, effective communication skills, personal and professional appearance and the ability to work effectively in a team make such a difference to employers right across the world, giving relevant examples where applicable.

This is not an academic programme, it is a very raw, earthy and real approach to what working life is all about. The Skills 4 work, Skills 4 life programme is appropriate for all mainstream education students including those with low academic ability.

Our message throughout the programme is one of inspiration, our delivery style is dynamic and the material that we use in our activities is simply first class.

Some of subjects covered in our programme include : What employers are looking for, the importance of qualifications in the work place, applications / cvs and interviews, health & safety, risk assessment to name but a few.

The format and timings of the programme will generally mirror your standard school day unless otherwise requested, to minimise disruption to the rest of the school.  

Your pupils / students will find the programme, challenging, enjoyable and totally rewarding.

All we require is some basic stationery, data projection equipment, a suitable room and we're good to go.

To emulate the real world of work, we quickly and effectively split the students into non friendship working groups.

All modules are activity based and are supported with strong audio visuals creating a highly memberable event. The majority of our activities are practical and involve "getting your sleeves rolled up and stuck in!"

Although we require some staff on hand to manage behaviour when in working in your school, all actual programme delivery is carried out by our own team of professional presenters and support staff.
