Future Skills Training

FST invests time in young people enabling them to re-engage with education and employment. Through a mix of educational and support services we aim to care for, empower and give hope to our young people. We now work with both primary and secondary aged children who are excluded from mainstream education, or are at risk of exclusion. This includes young offenders, those with special educational needs, children looked after. Through a relational therapeutic approach we currently deliver projects to challenge the young people's attitudes and behaviours, and develop the self-confidence and vital personal and social skills our young people need to successfully navigate their future and find fulfilment. These projects are: o Learn2Live – a social skills project targeting young people who have been excluded from mainstream education. We aim to enable the young people to return to full time education. o Lean on Me – a one-to-one mentoring project, empowering young people to build self-esteem, raise their aspirations and set and achieve a number of educational, social and relational focused goals. o Summer residential – Taking young people we are working with away to further develop their confidence and social skills and allow deeper relationships to be built.
