Workplace
The Workplace strand of our work concentrates on creating and developing a foundation for future employment and skills necessary to both enter and succeed within the workplace environment.
​
Our Workplace workshops teach important skills for young people to have as they transition into working life. This includes areas such as writing techniques for CV, writing college/university and job applications, key interview skills, writing letters/emails, meeting etiquette, digital competences and self-management.
