Courses
All our courses are tailored directly to the needs of your business depending on your size, timescale and specified training requirements. Ultimately, our aim is to facilitate your staff and business functioning and developing productively.
Confidence & Motivation
Our confidence and motivation workshops inspire those who intend to become proactive in changing their lives for the better. The course is primarily intended to help marginalised and jobless people gain confidence in their abilities and re-enter the job market. Using a unique system of the one to one support for clients, we have designed this course to help those lacking confidence and motivation develop thier skills
through training, volunteering and/or employment. Clients will attend pre -employment training workshops to increase their job prospects whilst we work with them on an individual basis taking into account their personal situation, experience and training needs. Everyone is assessed as an individual where we will look at the skills and needs of each person and motivate them to reach their potential. We will facilitate personal growth by ensuring clients become independent and motivated.
