We offer three different programmes:

• ASAP (After School Aspiration Programme) - This is a ten week programme for youth aged 12-14. The programme involves writing a CV, setting up practice interviews and more. The programme is fun, practical and activity based - we include vocational pathways, work experience and exploration.
