About the service

Nacro Doncaster Foundation Learning Programme helps young people who are not in education or work to learn new skills and get qualifications.

The service is designed to prepare young people to move on into further education, apprenticeships or work by offering them training and qualifications in areas including Army preparation, Sports and Fitness, English, maths and IT, alongside personal and social development.

On the Army preparation course learners are given every opportunity to achieve Army fitness standards and make their application to the Army.

On the Sports and Fitness course learners work towards a BTEC certificate in Sports and Active Leisure. Other opportunities may also be available.

We provide:

• clear information and guidance
• support to help overcome barriers that are stopping people from working or training
• support to improve employability skills, including with gaining qualifications such as maths, English, functional skills and personal development
• help with establishing a positive progression route
• additional sessions to meet individual needs provided by our own staff or through local organisations who specialise in working with and supporting young people.

What will I get out of it?

• practical skills such as team work and communication
• developed personal and social skills
• improved confidence
• qualifications in personal development areas
• the opportunity to progress into or further training, education or employment
