Learning Path
Don’t worry about turning up on your own – there’ll be up to 12 people joining and everyone will be in the same situation. It’ll be informal, there’ll be plenty of activities, so you’ll soon feel part of things.
You’ll start planning for the weeks ahead over this week – setting out what you want to achieve and finding out how to get your qualification. You’ll also likely to be planning for a week away.
You’re likely to spend this week away – trying new things and learning how to work with others. This gives you a chance to break away from your current situation. The sort of things you could do including canoeing, climbing, raft-building and more!
You’ll decide on a project to benefit your local community as a team and will carry it out. You might be surprised at what you can achieve together. This gives you a great experience to talk about at interviews.
This is the time to see how the skills you’ve developed so far can help you in the workplace. It’s also a great chance to try out a type of work, or company, to see whether you like it.
It’s time to plan your next steps after the programme. You’ll get help to write a fantastic CV, practise your interview skills and make applications.
You and the team will take on a challenge to help others in the community. This is when you get to test out all the skills you’ll have worked on so far.
You’ll deliver a presentation, with your team, to an invited audience during this final week. This is your chance to show off the talents you’ve discovered! This may sound scary now but, after 12 weeks on Team, you’ll be surprised at how far you’ve come.
