Our latest instalment of the R2W ‘Youth Futures’ programme in the Eden Valley has been underway this week. It’s all part of the Kickstart Traineeship Employability programme at Lowther Estates near Penrith.
The theme – ‘Manage your Career’
The day started with interviewing on-site Lowther staff on their individual career paths to date giving the trainees a chance to enhance their skills in confidence, questioning and communication while finding out more about different job roles.
SMART ways to work…
The group worked on SMART (Specific Measured Achievable Realistic Timescale) targets & individual action planning whilst exploring the importance of resilience and learning from set backs when managing their own career. The trainees even had time for a quick 3 minute challenge involving a cable tie!
Youth Futures, Community Learning Manager, Mandy Morland summed up the day: “Once again great work from all involved with positive interaction, teamwork and interesting (but appropriate) conversations! “
