How it works
Employability and skills training connects young people with experienced, Sport 4 Life UK mentors to provide high-quality sessions, mentoring and guidance. This service is available to all young people aged 11-29 not currently in education or employment (NEET).
Working one to one with a trained Sport 4 Life UK mentor, mentees will cover:
- CV Creation and enhancement
- Interview skills training
- How to research market trends and prepare for an interview
Mentors will also help with personal development, boost self-confidence and provide a network of like-minded individuals and supportive professionals. This can include:
- Employability workshops
- Mock-interviews
- Q&A sessions with leading businesses and professionals
If it’s not possible to meet due to COVID-19 restrictions, mentors can use Google Hangouts and other virtual platforms to provide a safe, supportive way of guiding young people struggling to find employment.
