Springboard...
Springboard is an 8-week Employability & Personal Development course for anyone over the ages of 25, living in Edinburgh or the Lothians. The course is aimed at helping those who have been long-term unemployed and/or face multiple barriers to gaining employment to recognise and develop their skills and attributes.
A wide variety of topics are covered from CV writing and Interview Skills to Cooking On a Budget as well as weekly sessions of a Mindfulness-Based Resilience course led by a qualified practitioner.
Participants also take part in weekly walks and have the opportunity to gain multiple certified qualifications including SQA Core Skills, Emergency First Aid at Work & Elementary Food Hygiene.
The Springboard programme culminates in a 3-day residential stay in partnership with Venture Trust. This involves a trip to the Highlands where a variety of personal development topics are incorporated into activities such as hill-walking and abseiling.
Participants will receive regular one-to-one support and guidance throughout the course to create action plans and signpost to any relevant employment, training or voluntary opportunities. The support provided can continue after the course until gaining employment or achieving the goals set.
