Life After Education programme
As it has been shown, many children who face difficulties within their lives tend to lack hope for a successful future, this can be due to their thoughts and behaviours hindering their drive or attention within their education or career development.
Within this part of the program, young people are encouraged to see the importance of life beyond where they are currently. This is achieved through short and long-term goals which are specific and realistic by using the SMART framework; Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and time-bound. This means, mentors shall help in the exploration of different career options which they may find enjoyable, or provide them with options due to their hobbies or interests which could develop into sustainable job opportunities, and have mentees focused on self-development, success and excitement for their potential future.
Tasks such as CV writing (with the assistance of mentors), developing skills needed to obtain careers (such as courses or work experience) and looking at apprentice options through links which are provided by local businesses, shall allow mentees to develop a passion for work, responsibility and security for their future, which then leads to their independence beyond the program.
