TRAINING TEENS - Rising to Greater Heights!!
AMAZING and OUTSTANDING would be the words best used to describe Thursday and Friday last week in Edinburgh! Yes there was a blue sky and sunshine but the words above are describing the Pathways to Apprenticeship group that are undertaking employability training the KDS way! (in partnership with JHP Training) SHINING examples of young people who, given the right opportunities and support, will go on to achieve great things! The world of Retail and Hospitality better be ready for the burst of positivity, ability, confidence and determination to progress when these 15 young people hit their work placements and subsequent employment!
Having looked at both the sectors, their skills, their goals, their communication styles, who they are, their lifestyle, the opportunities that are open to them and what employers want this group have quickly taken on board all the learning’s and have quickly come together into one supportive team!
Discussions around assumptions we make about ourselves and assumptions people can make about young people in general and young people entering employment led us to re-brand this team (complete with mission statement tagline) to show the world they were dedicated to progressing in employment, had a plan for the future and were going to be a knowledgeable workforce who would rise to the top of their chosen career areas!
World meet TRAINING TEENS Edinburgh - Rising to Greater Heights!! Newly re-branded and impressing the world!! A BRILLIANT, FANTASTIC, ENTHUSIASTIC, OUTGOING, SPARKLING, AWESOME, INSPIRING group of young people with a POSITIVITY and FOCUS to ensure that they FLY!
This coming week see’s them rise to the challenge of Workplace First Aid, Health and Safety, Manual Handling and also rising to the next level of looking at their own lives and planning the next steps with a day of life coaching and the LEGENDARY Mind over Matter day! All of this and a visit from Stevie Kidd – It’s going to be a PHENOMENAL week for this team!!

proud of you all,discipline, time keeping, the want to get attitude, learning heads on, I remeber when I was 16 I went to workplaces every day for over 40 times, one coach builder I was sent 4 times and stood even in the rain for over 11 hours, the owner passed
me in his Jag put the window doen and said what do you want son, I said, my friend sent me here said you wanted to see me for a possible apprenticeship, the response was a simple one, his window went up but at same time saying do not know what your talking
about, I went back another few time same response but I got another job. when I look back I now know it was meant to happen that way or I would not be doing what I do now, but more importantly message is simple one what is your limitation to getting what you
want look forward to meeting you all stevie kidd
