PROGRAMMME
What are the Programmes at Impact Training
At Impact Training we always aim to give our participants the best possible learning experience we can, this includes going above and beyond the programme expectations to develop models and programmes which align to the needs of the vocational sectors we deliver training programmes within.
Across all of endeavours we put the learner at the centre of our project design and implementation and attempt to enrich their experiences with increased vocational tutelage and immersive experiences, creating bespoke fun learning environments were our people can flourish.
Our ‘Skills for Life & Work’ programme is continually evolving and reacting to the labour market needs and this allows us to support the development of the next generation of vocational employee’s. The flexibility within the programme, and our unique Foundation to Progression model, allows for a wide range of sampling of diverse experiences and the acquisition of niche skills and competencies that are nurtured and applied to practical work settings.
The ‘Apprenticeship’ programme, allows our the learning to continue within the workplace and the scope of enhancing qualification levels during paid employment as well as sustaining the longevity of employment through continuous support and guidance. The ‘Job Assist’ programme also allows those who have potentially disengaged with training and employment.
WORK EXPERIENCE & WORK PLACEMENT
At Impact Training we understand that entering the world of work is difficult for those who have little to no work based experience, therefore, with the support of our internal Employer Engagement Team, we aim to offer the assistance required to move our participants towards significant vocationally related work placements to help imbed their learning by using a strategical and measured approach.
Throughout the journey with Impact Training, our aim is to help our participants understand the structure, behaviours, skills and attributes to handle work efficiently and effectively. Through a progressive system, including work tasters, work experience and employability sessions, we will help support all of our programme participants graduate towards sustainable and employment linked placements and experiences.
EVOLVE
Our Evolve programme allows programme participants to sample areas of vocational sectors outside of the qualification framework Running at several points throughout the year, our aim with EVOLVE, is to develop relationships and resources that can support the delivery of enriched vocational experience, for example, Engineering Companies coming to our Lanark way Workshop and demonstrating the use of new machinery and Technology, our Childcare Students undertaking Paediatric First Aid, our Joinery Department spending a day supporting local housing authorities with maintenance and clean ups, our I.T Department spending time developing games and Coding in conjunction with QUB and UUJ etc…
The EVOLVE programme, helps young people separate from their classroom and work based activities for periods throughout the year. It promotes the development of transferable work and life skills and demonstrates where the practical application of their work can be applied across multiple workplace settings, giving them more insights and options for future pathway choices.
LANARK ENTERPRISES
Through teams of participants, Impact Training have developed a work experience model that promotes and develops potential pathways to entrepreneurship and innovation & creativity through the creation of an internal pathway where vocational skills can be applied. These opportunities can be commercial or benefit the community through offering suitable and affordable services, such as, garden maintenance - Engineers fixing broken railings, Joiners fixing broken fencing, supporting community groups etc as well as the production of goods for sale, branded and marketed through our I.T. & Retail groups.
These exercises and programme add an additional layer of experience, ingenuity and allow for the participants to enhance their possibilities of progress into placement and employment.
MENTAL HEALTH STRATEGY
At Impact Training, we carry out baseline assessments with every participant as well as carry out a range of iterative assessments throughout the participants journey, to both assess their professional and educational development, but also to gauge the supports and pressures they experience in relation to their personal wellbeing and Mental Health. We have developed and deliver a seven tiered approach to Mental Health, with numerous intervention methodologies applied that are dependent on the needs of the participant and supports required. We consistently review our support methods and their efficacy, and invest both time and resources in ensuring we support our participants to overcome and cope with many barriers which may impact their development and progression.
