Boldon Colliery 'Bridging the Gap' Youth Employability Programme
The Boldon Colliery 'Bridging the Gap' Youth Employability Programme was kindly supported by the Wellesley Trust via the Tyne & Wear and Northumberland Community Foundation. This programme aimed to enhance the aspirations, employability and self-esteem of a group of Year 10 students at Boldon School in South Tyneside. The students took part in a 12-week structured programme of workshops and activities including sessions on sleep hygiene, healthy eating, goal-setting, CV-writing and managing moods and emotions. These group sessions aimed to improve the communication, confidence, employability and debt management skills of the young people, to prepare them for future employment. Additionally, they went on a vocational visit to local engineering firm, Bay Plastics, and participated in a competitive team-building activity of Go-Karting.
