Strive to ...
Strive to...’ is an innovative project
from Radio Forth's Cash for Kids and the Bauer Academy which equips young
people with confidence,
creativity, enterprise, digital and media skills and to create
a positive online
profile. This provides them with an opportunity to effectively
market themselves differently and promote themselves positively to future
employers.
The project uses media training as an
engaging way to develop key employability skills and raise aspirations in
disadvantaged/disengaged young people in Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife.
4 x week long multimedia courses will run
across the year. Each week will cover radio, film, print, photography and
digital skills. At the end of the course each young person will have a
‘digital cv’ – an online webpage which showcases content that they’ve created
throughout the course. This gives them examples of work which can easily
be shared with prospective employers.
This project is funded by the Big
Lottery's Young Start Fund and is aimed at those age 16-18 who are most in
need of the relevant employability skills to help with their transition to
adulthood.
This opportunity is for any 16-18 year olds that are not in education, training or employment.
The next course starts a week on
Monday (12th June) and there are a few spaces left which we are keen to
fill so young people don't miss out on this great opportunity. For
