The ToolShed Work and Study Programme provides young people with one to one mentoring to support the development of personal self-confidence and motivation, as well as tutoring in key functional skills and employability. Work experience placements are also offered to those on the programme.
What We Do
Our course tailored for disabled young people provides one to one mentoring to help with the development of personal self-confidence and motivation. Further support available includes:
- One to one tutoring in key functional skills such as English, Maths and ICT, and others linked to employability such as networking.
- A behaviour change programme called Pro-Active Life Skills, which helps young people develop the skills for independent living and social engagement
- Setting up a work placement of the young person's choice. We have an extensive database of employers and work hard to find the most compatible placement approaching employers on our students behalf.
- Peer to peer support teams and linking current students with past students where appropriate
We can also provide support with applying for ‘Access to Work’ funding.
We set young people up with a work placement in an employment area of their choice
