Pathways Programme
Our Pathways Programme, delivered on behalf of Education, is an initiative designed for young people who are early school leavers, to enable them to build employability skills and support them on their way to a positive destination, whether that's work, further education or training. Along with partners from North Lanarkshire Council and New College Lanarkshire, we work collaboratively across 3 sites in Motherwell, Coatbridge and Cumbernauld.
Under this programme, young people can gain a range of qualifications and get access to different types of support, in groups or on a one-to-one basis. Our Skills Team aim to help them build up the knowledge and skills that they will need to progress and flourish in the working world.

A teacher said
As always with your workshops, well facilitated and delivered I personally really enjoy watching how the boys engage with you and considering it was nine 16-year-olds their behaviour and enthusiasm speaks volumes for your session, they really enjoy and benefit for them.
