Careers Inspiration Programme

MacIntyre Academies Trust (MAT) is looking to partner with an organisation (the provider) with a track record of supporting young people with SEMH and/or learning difficulties (including autism) to deliver a Careers Inspiration Programme (Inspirational Futures) across its three special schools in Warwickshire. The project will support the academies to achieve The Baker Clause, the Gatsby Benchmarks and work with students in Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and Post-16 in group or individual sessions to enable them to: hear from inspiring speakers and employers who can introduce them to a world outside their regular communities and ideas of work; visit real-world workplaces and sectors; understand opportunities in the developing labour market and widen their awareness of the options available to them; prepare CVs and take part in mock interviews. We also want the project to help us generate more work experience opportunities and if budget allows provide mentoring and support to targeted young people.
