EDUCATION & TRAINING
You might be struggling at school or college, or maybe you want to return to education.
Our team can help you, at whatever stage you’re at.
We run study sessions on Friday afternoons in the run up to GCSEs. We can also help you plan your study and manage exam nerves.
We can help with applications for college, university, training courses and apprenticeships. Writing a personal statement, preparing for an interview, sorting out accommodation and applying for grants can feel overwhelming. Our team will help with all of these.
If you are currently in education or training, and struggling to stay on track, we can help you to work through your challenges.
We also work with Volunteer It Yourself, VIY, an organisation which challenges young people aged 14-24 to learn trade and employability skills through helping to fix up local youth and community facilities in need of essential repairs and improvements.
We have placed young people in a number of ViY projects.
‘Youth Concern helped set me up with an experience at a building site. I’m on a trial period, learning new skills, I’m a quick learner and motivated, that’s a normal thing for me. I’ve met a lot of new people, just generally feel better.’
