A bespoke mentoring and training opportunity for young adult carers

The Future Ready project aims to prepare Young Adult Carer’s to become “work ready”.  This exciting new initiative is aimed at Young Adult Carers between the ages of 18 to 24 in the Dacorum area. The programme is designed to develop the young adults’ personal journey to employment. 

The programme will take the form of bespoke mentoring and training opportunities, with the needs of each individual to be the priority. The programme will offer volunteering and work experience placements as well as trips, visits, guest speakers and a focus on upskilling and employability skills development. At the same time, offering wellbeing activities, fun times and allowing time for the individual to step away from their caring responsibilities. 

The skills development may include workshop’s and visits around entrepreneurship, creative learning, key skills of communication, digital skills and financial planning. 

Employability skills development may include jargon busting, interview techniques, application advice and help with CV writing.
