Our Programmes

Our 12-week, secondary programme supports Year 9-10 young people to develop their Essential Skills. We run two cohorts per year: the Autumn cohort runs from October-January; the Spring cohort runs from February- May. Schools can register 12 young people per cohort (24 young people per year).

Structure:
Weekly in-school sessions are facilitated by an Envision Programme Coordinator. Young people work in teams to design, develop, and deliver a social action project that makes a positive change in their school community.

At mentoring sessions, our Programme Coordinators facilitate sessions in the workplace of a local partner business to allow young people to work with mentors to develop their skills, confidence, and raise their aspirations. There are 4 mentor engagements throughout the programme.

Young people take part in two progressively demanding ‘milestones’: a Progress Report, where they present their initial ideas for their project to mentors and peers and gain feedback; and the Final Presentation, where they showcase their skills development and project achievements to their peers, mentors, and a panel of judges. This is an opportunity to celebrate and reflect on their successes, and for the winning team to walk away with the Envision trophy!
