Factor Red - changes

Factor Red Changes, our transition coaching programme, was trialed with a group of young people in July 2007.  Originally sponsored by Connexions Herefordshire and Worcestershire, it has been a tremendous success and partners have been "bowled over" by the impact the programme has had on the young people who took part. The programme is now available in other areas.

The intensive personal development coaching programme for young people 16 - 21 years who are not in education, employment or training (NEET), develops personal values, strengths, skills, motivation and esteem to more confidently and sustainably engage in new learning and/or employment opportunities.

The programme helps participants to develop the social, emotional and creative intelligence to make more positive personal outcomes.

Why? When young people experience periods of change (transition) in life, they can quickly become disengaged and miss out on learning, training or work opportunities. If they are supported to identify their personal values, strengths, skills and abilities and encouraged to harness the courage and confidence to move forward, positive steps can be made.

The result

• Greater understanding of personal values, strengths skills and abilities
• Increased self-confidence
• Improved self-esteem
• A sense of achievement
• Greater understanding of own and other's needs 
• Motivated and confident to take up new opportunities
• Successful progression into new work, life and learning opportunities  
• Reduction in disengagement
