Examples:
Motor Maintenance – You will work alongside professionals doing mechanics and body work. The twist could be anything from a racing experience, go karting or visiting a quality car dealership.
Shabby Chic Restoration – Here, you can learn how to recycle, restore and present items for sale. The twist could be visiting Wales to see the shabby chic shops there and also gain a surfboarding experience.
Vintage Clothing – This involves you learning how to obtain stock, carry out alterations and how to sell on eBay. The twist could include visiting Camden and even organising a fashion show.
This workshop allows you to test out what the job is like for yourself and the ‘twist’ makes the experience even more interesting and fun!
‘Chat n Change’ provides confidential counselling sessions if you need this support. You and the listener work together to overcome barriers to improve confidence and self-esteem. This is done at a pace to suit you within a safe environment.
The ultimate aims are to learn relaxation techniques, coping strategies, management/expression of emotions to support you to move forward and achieve your goals.
If you are interested in either of the above opportunities please contact your Mentor for more information.
