North Lanarkshire based parents can attend this new programme which will run on Tuesday and Wednesday from 9.30am-2.30pm; to gain employability skills and SQA qualifications, and receive 1-2-1 support towards future employment, plus there will be lots of creative arts activities to enjoy.
Participants can receive up to £30 per week training allowance for attending the programme, plus travel costs (bus or train). The programme will be delivered in Summerlee Heritage Center which is a 5-minute walk from Coatbridge train station.
Impact Arts’ friendly, supportive delivery staff will work with participants to ensure everyone reaches their potential and has a great experience. Our dedicated Support Worker will guide participants to gain an SQA qualification and will offer tailored pastoral support. Our Creative Lead tutor will introduce participants to new artistic techniques and will support them in creating artworks using various artforms.
At the end of the programme, there will be a celebratory showcase of work that will be planned, collated and hosted by the participants. Friends and family members can help the participants to celebrate their achievements.
We aim to help each participant to build confidence and develop employability skills to ensure they go on to a positive destination once they complete the programme. This could be further training, education or employment.
