An innovative, integrated digital programme to help inspire, develop and support over 200 of the most disadvantaged, talented young people. Comprised of four core components including online mentoring and masterclasses, the Academy has been designed to support our young people build credibility and confidence in a changing digital world, and navigate the employment landscape post Covid-19.
At the heart of the Academy is our innovative assessment process, the STACK framework, which allows us to assess a young person’s Self-awareness, Teamwork, Attitude, Communication and Knowledge. Either through self-assessment or working with one of our staff, our young people answer questions about their knowledge and transferable skills allowing us to pinpoint the areas where they most need our help.
