We're currently running the College Preparation Group for young people who are starting college this year ๐
This has become an annual group that we run every summer. It's aimed at making young people feel more confident about moving on to college and college life ๐
Run over five weeks, the College Preparation Group focuses on aspects such as:
๐Enrolment
๐ Timetables
๐Travel planning
๐๐ผAdditional support available
Through the group, young people also have the opportunity to visit the respective campuses they will be attending ๐ซ
One of the group's sessions focused on confidence building. In that session, young people put post-it notes on a 'confidence jar' with things they are good at and things they think others in the group are good at ๐ฅฐ It was an empowering exercise which gave young people a good boost before embarking on college life ๐คฉ
The College Preparation Group is run by our Spark Your Future programme, funded by the Employability Grants Programme as part of No One Left Behind funding!
