Young adults

I have employed many young people and have often felt that there has been a gap in some of the essential skills needed to operate in the workplace. Grades at school and university are only part of the package needed to be successful in life beyond the school or higher education establishment gates.

I currently work with a local school in Shropshire, on a programme based around developing ‘work-ready’ skills for sixth formers. This has involved round-table discussions with contacts from business kindly donating their time and expertise and has evolved into a conference for girls from year 9-13, on International Women’s Day. The focus is on life-skills, whatever path you choose.

This in-school group-support, has extended to working with young people on a bespoke basis. I provide one on one sessions, to assist them in discovering what their individual path is; whether a teenager or in their 20s. Sometimes parents and teachers need an outside perspective and I can offer this. I also have my own children, so I do understand!

I am a coach on the www.wemindthegap.org.uk programme. The focus of this fantastic charity is on helping vulnerable young women, aged 18-30 re-enter the workplace or education and take control of their lives. I support two women on each cohort of ten, with weekly sessions for the first ten weeks and then fortnightly for the following ten weeks - and more adhoc as the year-long programme progresses.
