Skills Camps — Where Career Coaches Are Discovered



Skills Camps are a new and unique approach to discovering unused human potential:

  • Training career coaches to discover local unused transferrable skills
  • Specifically designed courses for the hard to reach, long term unemployed/ people on benefits.
  • 12—week long, 1/2 day per week of professional-grade life/career coaching to help people understand their personal offer in the world of work, while building up their confidence and communication skills.
  • Brokering work placements, helping participants to gain work experience and testimonials
What makes these courses unique is that we not only enable participants to reach the job market, but also to gain skills as career coaches. During each course, they practice coaching on each other and on members from the local community. They can also stay on and develop their coaching skills further in the next Skills Camp, following the one they attended. This is true network-based peer to peer coaching, which creates a ripple effect throughout the community, as the benefits of the workshops are experienced beyond the actual course participants. Some Skills Camps participants, may go on to participate in Social Startup Labs, but attending a Skills Camp is not a pre-requisite to participating in a Social Startup Lab.
