We were very pleased to be invited to participate in the recent Thanet Skills360 event, where we engaged with inspiring young people from four Thanet SEND schools and colleges.
The excellent event is designed to help support young people, aged 16-20, who are busy developing their functional skills, GCSEs, employability skills, and vocational pathways, preparing for their next steps into mainstream college, supported internships, or employment.
Spending the day with these talented young people was an amazing experience. Their confidence, curiosity, and enthusiasm were truly inspiring, as they turned the tables on us and many other local employers by interviewing us all on various jobs and roles.
The event provided a valuable opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the strengths and potential of young people with autism, ADHD, speech and language difficulties, or an EHCP.
We highly recommend the event which is organised by David Fretton of the Kent & Medway Careers Hub and introduced by Emily Hollis MBE MUniv FCCT, Director of The Hive at Foreland Fields School - an inclusive facility we have been proud to support through various fundraising and volunteering initiatives in recent years.
