An opportunity has been brought to my attention for any 16 to 25 year old's that are unemployed , not in training or education.
It's free in case you are wondering what the cost is :)
It's called 'Kick Start' and it is a short training programme (5 days)
linked to some interesting volunteering opportunities to help people
get a start in trying to get back to college, finding a job or just
getting out of the house and doing something.
Their next course is running in Swindon on the 24th, 25th of April
and 1st and 2nd of May.
More about Kick Start
Kick Start is a 12 week stepped programme to support young people who are currently unemployed and not in education or training. It is voluntary and FREE to take part in and once you have completed Step One you can progress through the rest of the programme at your own pace and even decide to end your involvement at any point.
Once registered on the programme you will be able to take part in the following activities:
Step One "Entry": You will attend a local venue for three days of personal goal setting, developing job seeking skills and developing your confidence in the job market. You will also be able to complete an introduction to volunteering award which can lead on to you becoming a fully qualified event steward. This step is usually completed over three consecutive days.
Step Two "Development": You will be able to choose from a range of supported volunteering opportunities which will include both small-scale, local activities through to volunteering at large national events including festivals and events such as the Badminton Horse Trials and the Royal Bath and West Show. Volunteering placements may be for just one day or could become a long term commitment - it will be entirely up to you to decide how much time you want to put in.
Step Three "Progression": Return to the training venue for some specific support with CVs, job applications and communication skills and maybe even some fun and games.
Step Four "Completion": Tie everything together, complete your event stewarding award and (hopefully) progress in to paid employment or register for another college programme or training course.
Step Five "Celebration": At the end of every twelve week programme there will be a celebration event where Kick Start graduates from across the South West can come together to share their experiences, make new friends and have fun. These days might be based around activities such as rock climbing, swimming or karting, or could be more of a party with food and live music. It really will be up to those completing the programme to decide.
Step Six "Assist": We are always looking for people to help run future activities both as a part of Kick Start and also as a part of our other projects. Once you have completed steps one to five you may be able to come back as a volunteer to help run future training sessions, volunteering days and even celebration events.
