About

Knowsley Council awarded a contract to Activate Arts Ltd for the delivery of an employability programme over the 2015-2017 academic years.

The programme, valued at AUD 120,000, was designed for learners at Meadowbrook and Alt Bridge, with each cohort comprising up to 10 learners.

It was delivered one day per week, with the Alt Bridge cohort specifically on Thursdays, as part of the learners' five-day provision and integrated into their individual learning plans and annual person-centred reviews.

The core focus was employability skills tailored to the needs of young people, supporting progression to voluntary work, community placements, work experience, work placements, and supported employment.

For some learners, the priority was developing skills and personal qualities for more independent living rather than direct employment.
