Maddelinealmost 3 years agoSchool to Adulthood Transition Course
In schools, there is generally an attempt to prepare people for the outside world but I rarely see things such as cv writing and interview prep outside of elite uni preparation. Things such as email etiquette, how to write a cover letter or even financial advice are glossed over or not mentioned at all, and as someone who just entered the working world and had to write my CV with my sister's help 30 minutes before applying, these are things that need to be discussed. I was hoping for either week-long events that take place in holiday periods, or once-a-week courses that take place over a term, that give young people these skills with real-world feedback from people who have been on either end of these situations. While my focus isn’t career advice and is much more general, the ability to direct people to other resources for that would be great, as career prep and resource documents are things I frequently create for my friends who are struggling to find information on their own career pathways. There’s a range of rarely spoken about options for people that should be shared openly, and I believe this would be the space for it.

There is a real need for information to help people navigate through the bureaucracy of local and central government as well as signposting for issues such as debt. A CAB desk with maybe an interview cabin would be helpful to the community. This suggestion would be relevant for all the hubs.

Social issues are something I hear about in school assemblies and sometimes on the news, but young people are rarely given a space to discuss and learn about current events and political issues in a meaningful and safe way. I wanted to create an environment that would allow people to discuss things such as socio-political issues in an informative way, alongside informed individuals and the opportunity to develop debate, speaking and other interpersonal skills. Due to sensitive topics, it would involve time to understand what will be discussed prior to meetings and of course have rules on behaviour to maintain a respectful environment. I was hoping to have themed months and to have someone come in to speak maybe once a month on the issues in-depth, maybe politics or sociology undergrads who are looking for experience. I was hoping it could be a weekly, 1-1 ½ hour event, to allow time for intro, facts, research and discussion. Most of all, I want people to walk away with a better understanding of the world and a few skills under their belt. I wanted the focus to be on how intersectional these issues really are and how we can work together to make things better, both on a local and international scale. I want themes on global issues and to hear from people's personal perspectives. I want the opportunity to work on small and large projects that make a difference. I was even hoping to have a termly newsletter for those who aren’t directly involved in the club.
