SPARK Your Future Programme
The YMCA SPARK Your Future Programme is an exciting 8-week course designed to help young people who are currently not in education, employment or training (NEET) build confidence, develop practical life skills and take positive steps towards their future.
Starting on 8th June and running every Monday and Wednesday, the programme combines hands-on learning with a supportive and welcoming environment. Young people will have the opportunity to explore practical activities linked to joinery and construction, while also developing essential workplace and everyday life skills.
Throughout the programme, participants will gain experience in areas such as teamwork, communication, problem solving, time management and employability, helping to build confidence and prepare for future opportunities. Sessions are designed to be engaging, practical and supportive, giving young people the chance to try new things, meet others and develop valuable skills for life and work.
Whether you’re looking to build confidence, learn something new or take the next step towards employment or training, YMCA SPARK Your Future is here to help you get started.
YES I CAN: Career Support
YES I CAN: Career Support is a weekly session designed to help you move forward with confidence.
Whether you need to build your CV, practise interviews, search for jobs, or just figure out your next step, this is a space where you can get real, hands-on support. You’ll work alongside others in a similar position, with guidance from people who are there to help you succeed.
No pressure, no judgement — just the support you need to say “YES I CAN” and take that next step.
Every Thursday at YMCA North Staffordshire
Coming Soon!
