Future Impact (Careers Support for Young People with Additional Needs)

Providing person-centred support to 16-24 year olds with special educational and complex needs.

Through this work we're able to work with 15 year olds who are at risk of becoming unemployed at 16.

We offer bespoke services through our professional Coaches. This approach enables us to support people to:

  • overcome barriers to learning and achievement
  • achieve at school or college
  • move from education/training into employment
  • secure sustained employment

What the Future Impact Programme Offers

To begin with, the young person will meet with their Future Impact coach who will spend time getting to know them and carrying out an initial assessment, which illustrates the young person’s current situation. This covers:

  • Life and independence skills
  • Appropriate behaviour
  • Time keeping
  • Interview and application readiness
  • Achievements
  • Experience of work
  • Home life and relationships
  • Money
  • Physical and mental wellbeing
  • Safety
  • Leisure
  • Confidence

Once the coach has established what skills and abilities the young person needs to develop, they will work with them to design a bespoke support package which can include individual coaching, group work, partnership working, peer support and personal budget management.
