If you’re a professional and would like to book a workshop for a group of young people, please fill out the booking request form at the bottom of this page. 

The workshops have been created so they can be delivered both in-person and online, depending on the capacity of our small team. For in-person workshops, we require 8-10 young people to attend. We are happy to deliver a full-day or half day of workshops, delivering several or all the modules in one extended session. 

We kindly ask that a staff member from your organisation accompanies the young people to the workshop and remains present and available throughout the entire session. 

The workshops are extremely interactive, so it’s important that young people accessing the workshops online are on a device with a screen big enough that they can see the slides clearly and open other tabs simultaneously (ideally a laptop, computer or tablet). 

The workshops have been co-designed with care-experienced young people and early careers professionals (from 16 different organisations), to make sure they’re as informative, engaging and helpful as possible.
