Vocational Training Support Needs & Social Skills for Young People
At Wawcare Semi-Independent Supported Living we place a huge emphasis on enabling our service users to create and then work towards realistic employment goals.
It is of course a given fact that both the individual service users and society in general will benefit from any moves that can be made towards employment. This though can be a very unnerving prospect for those service users who are looking to enter the employment for the first time.
With the above in mind we have developed strong links with local training providers, the job centre and also various companies willing to assist us with our work experience aims. The overall concept being to, without pressure, encourage our service users to take on a wide variety of vocational (and nonvocational) training opportunities provided within their local training centres.
Once the service users have completed an initial set of training programs and boosted their confidence and interest to a level that they feel comfortable, we can then assist them in obtaining work experience. Here we have worked hard to negotiate work experience opportunities with many of our supplier partners, and these include opportunities in gardening, cleaning, administration, cooking, budgeting and maintenance.
