Care Experienced / Young Carers
We meet with young people who are Care Experienced or identify as carers to provide additional planning and support from S4 until their leaving date.
We provide regular 1:1 check ins to support the transition from school into further education, training and employment.
Workout!
The Work Out! programme provides supported vocational placements to selected young people in S4 – S6 from each secondary school in South Ayrshire. Young people are supported by their Thriving Communities Officer to participate in a one day per week work experience placement in a range of occupational areas across the council, community planning partners and local businesses. Young people taking part in this programme also undertake the accredited Steps to Work qualification at SCQF Level 3.
The extended work experience programme has been designed to provide a range of experiences for the young person and to help develop them holistically in relation to their employability, communication skills and working with others.
