Need a Direction? Programme

Need a Direction Programme in 2012

Day 1: Mondays in Bicester/ Thursdays in Didcot Core Day

We will focus on career planning, personal development and functional skills. We could do this through sessions in martial arts, visits to the gym, personal and group projects, practice interviews, meetings with Connexions and other advisers.

We have specialist support for Maths and English if you want to make improvements to your key skills - we can do some assessment and recommend what you can do about it.

There is time for one to one support on issues that may concern you.
