Social Ambassador Programme

The Social Ambassador Programme focusses on the wider ways in which it can support learners such as recognising wider achievements, creating learning pathways on how to develop the Young Workforce and giving equality between vocational and academic qualifications.

The approach is through conducting life skills development, career guidance and mentoring sessions to emphasise the need of identifying student interests and developing their skills to transform their passion into a gainful employment and potentially further education in their chosen field.

There are benefits to be realised through this kind of programme. Young people who get involved display a greater enthusiasm for learning, will begin to demonstrate increased leadership among their peers, they will be more optimistic about their long-term future and the overall benefit of increasing their school’s connection to the community.
