Based on nearly a decade of experience, we can offer you a comprehensive range of programmes and modules that focus on enterprise, careers, work experience and success in the world of work.

Our acclaimed packages enable staff and students to be knowledgeable, proactive and focused by exploring the following core areas;

• The nature of enterprise

We offer a wide range of training from twilights and workshops through to whole school programmes. These are available for staff, pupils and parents.

They compliment and support the work covered in the National Curriculum and have been designed to be used in the PHSE, Citizenship, Work Related Learning and Work Experience arenas.

By making the link between employability and enterprise skills and the day to day challenges of the classroom, schools and colleges can enhance performance, release potential and prepare students for a successful life beyond the school gates.
