Preparing Young People for Positive Futures
Building confidence, independence, employability and meaningful pathways beyond Alternative Provision.
Join us for a half-day practical training session focused on how Alternative Provision and education professionals can effectively prepare young people for positive and sustainable futures.
For many young people accessing Alternative Provision, preparing for adulthood requires more than academic achievement alone. Providers have an important role in helping learners develop the skills, confidence, aspirations and experiences they need to successfully progress into further education, training, employment and independent adulthood.
This session will explore practical ways to embed preparation for the future throughout a young person’s experience of Alternative Provision.

- Understanding what positive progression looks like for individual young people

- Developing communication, teamwork, problem-solving and workplace behaviours
- Supporting young people to recognise their own strengths and transferable skills
