YOUNG CARERS BOURNE FUTURES
The Bourne Academy
Summary:
We hoped to offer additional careers support and opportunities to our young carers and vulnerable students. We aimed to explore their values and skills and to give additional one to one careers support as well as experiencing a trip that they would enjoy.
Testimonials
Year 10 Student
“I’m thinking about setting up my own business, this has shown me that my determination and ability to get things done will be important for me.”
Year 10 Student
“… I feel much better, my confidence has doubled to a 6 out of 10, I reckon.”
Year 9 Student
“This is fun, I never really thought about my skills and passions before and how to turn those into jobs in the future.”
Education Social Worker
“It was lovely to see the young carers at Monkey World having a fun, carefree time without their caring responsibilities. It has also opened up some really valuable careers conversations with young people that wouldn’t have happened without this project.”
