Try a Trade Programme
WHAT IS THE 'TRY A TRADE' PROGRAMME?
This unique 12-month programme launched in Autumn 2021 in partnership with The HomeServe Foundation, which was further supported by Checkatrade the following year.
The programme supported schools in the West Midlands to engage students and their families in understanding the fantastic range of career opportunities available through domestic trades.
Through this programme, schools worked with industry experts to:
- Develop a broader understanding and awareness of domestic trades.
- Inspire young people through resources, case studies and role models who are working in those roles.
- Involve parents and carers in understanding the employment opportunities available locally and how to access them.
- Work with local training providers and employers to understand local opportunities.
- Equip young people with the skills and confidence to know how to take the next step.
