Career Development Programme
The Career Development Programme (CDP) is a client led holistic programme, utlising core YourStory values of assisting individuals to develop skills and tools for life. Self-belief, self-analysis, motivation and the ability to build relationships are invaluable, transferable skills whatever life path is chosen.
One-to-one group work, life coaching and neuro linguistic programme techniques are used to develop positive decision-making and learning from outcomes. These techniques help raise relationship awareness and encourage personal responsibility.
Individual learning action plans and exit strategies are imperative for continuous progression, in addition to personal journals which allow clients to record their progress, reflect and understand their own growth, for their own personal emotional release.
A key element of the CDP involves one-to-one development sessions in which the client is given the opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgemental environment. The aim is to provide the tools and support for the client to move forward in a positive way, enabling them to grow and set achievable goals.
Physical Activities are encouraged throughout the programme, which improve personal development, confidence and health, at the same time as improving perceptions of self and realistic potential. Activities include badminton, basketball, boxing, fitness programmes, football, kwik-cricket, netball, Tennis and uni-hoc,
