How it Works
Each participant receives a ‘passport’, and earns stamps in it for successfully completing parts of the programme. Each stamp tells a potential employer that the passport holder is skilled in a particular area.
Each participant will take part in the following core components of the programme:
- Education – attend classes to provide them with basic skills. Classes will use a face-to-face delivery method, in which the tutor shares a physical space with programme participants
- Employability workshop – attend workshops about subjects such as: resume writing; dressing for success; interview skills; and pride in performance
- Work experience – go on job placements in companies and organisations whose business is related to participants’ chosen career; gain work experience and develop decision-making skills
- Extra-Curricular activities – such as: attending service clubs; playing sports; obtaining a driving license; obtaining a diving certificate
Other features of the programme include:
- Participants can customize their programme to suit their areas of interest
- Activities are hands-on and practical
- Emphasis on adult literacy
- Integration of general life skills and career specific vocational education
- A career pathways approach
- Adult based learning methods (such as group and practical exercises)
