We have created a unique, supported experience for service users; providing a 6 month paid work experience. The placement includes office skills training, practical experience, support and guidance.

As part of the program we assess each individual, learn about their experiences and create plans to allow them to progress. By tailoring the placements on a case- by -case basis, we ensure that the program is personal meet each of their needs.

We understand the importance of feeling part of a team, learning and creating work that they can feel proud of. Simultaneously, we understand the importance of developing structure and routine. We ensure our placements gain some practical skills that they can bring forward to future opportunities and help build confidence.

They graduate from us with a sense of achievement and we continue to support them after their placements with ad-hoc training and support in moving onto future opportunities.

As part of our service user training offer, we provide free interpreting training at level 1, 2 and 3.

This includes regular check-ins from our team to make sure they are motivated and happy with their learning experience. We catch up with learners regularly and aim to understand what support might help them, in terms of practical aid and words of motivation.

For those that complete level 3 training, we have created an opportunity for them to progress to paid employment. This gives them work experience in a professional environment and allows them to move straight into work that they have studied hard for.

We understand that gaining an official training qualification can build self esteem and create life opportunities for service users. This is something we are proud to offer.
