Hi, i'm Martin.  I work for Warwickshire College Group and deliver the Prince's Trust Team Programme to Leamington Spa and surrounding areas.  I am the team leader and should currently be running a team of approximately 14 young people aged between 16-25 and  would run for 12 weeks, 

 
The course is a varied mix of team building activities including,  Money management, Community Project , Work experience,CV writing and Job applications, 4 Day Residential experience, Building confidence and Preparing for employment.
 
As a lead into looking at the attachments, the outline of the course is as follows:
  • 12 week programme
  • 16-25 yr students
  • Mon-Fri
  • 09.30hrs - 16.30hrs
  • Total of 6 weeks in 'Team room'
  • Total of 6 weeks in the surrounding community
  • Qualification gained - Prince's Trust Lv 1 - Employment, Teamwork & Community Skills
  • Qualification gained - Edexcel Lv 1 - Personal & Social Development         

Currently my team is on hold as it was due to start April 6th, So i am using this time to fine tune my course and it's content, creating new resources, designing new team building and stem activities so I will be ready to start my new team as soon as the schools and colleges can re-start back.

I have a young girl on my next team who was born deaf and although she uses cochlear implants and we have discussed how we can assist her, especially during residential and in a busy teaching room, It made me think what would be worthwhile to do to enhance my classes for the future and decided that learning BSL would be a really usefull skill to learn for me, my future teams and warwickshire college as a learning facility, So here I am. :)

      Introducing Myself

      By alexseenqqw · Posted

      Vi uma propaganda no Insta do Playoro, nome me chamou atenção. Entrei pra ver se era confiável e encontrei um site que explicava tudo bem direto. Mostrava quais os jogos mais populares, bônus de boas-vindas e como funcionava o saque. Gosto quando não precisa procurar info em 10 lugares. Me cadastrei e fui testando aos poucos. Achei bem justo.

      "Be right back"?

      By Lead Academy · Posted

      n British Sign Language (BSL), to say "Be right back", you can sign it informally as: 👉 “SOON COME BACK” or “COME BACK SOON” Here’s how: SOON – Tap your index finger against your cheek or use a quick gesture for "short time". COME BACK – Point outward (to show you're leaving) and then curve your hand back toward your body. Alternatively, you can fingerspell "BRB" for an informal or digital-style way.

      Website for you

      By gerta23 · Posted

      While traveling from Chennai to Bangalore by train, I got bored and started browsing casual games. That’s when I found aviator bet. Since the rounds are so short, it’s perfect for filling up a few minutes without needing a solid Wi-Fi connection. Plus, the game loads fast, which really helped because the network was patchy most of the way. Super handy for travel.

      Hey, I just wanted to share my experience with you all. I found this site through a colleague who mentioned it at work. The aviator bet game intrigued me because it seemed like a fun, no-pressure game. I’ve had a blast playing it and, to my surprise, ended up with a decent win. It’s definitely a great way to relax and unwind. So far, I’m very satisfied with the experience.
