North Shields Children's Youth Employability and Financial Literacy Programme

Over the past few months, Year 6 pupils from Christ Church C of E Primary School have taken part in Building Self Belief CIO’s ‘North Shields Children’s Youth Employability and Financial Literacy Programme. Throughout the programme, the children explored their strengths, learned about branding and marketing, discovered different career pathways, developed essential employability skills and took part in a financial literacy workshop delivered by Newcastle Building Society.They then put their learning into action by creating their own ‘Financial Literacy Guide’ to help other young people build positive money habits. This video celebrates their journey, achievements and the confidence they have gained along the way. A huge thank you to Newcastle Building Society and Community Foundation North East for making this programme possible.
