Concept
SportWorks have designed and delivered a programme for 10 families of pupils at the school who are unemployed to both assist the parents in gaining employment and create the opportunity for meaningful family time together.
Approach
The 10 week course is delivered on a weekly basis, taking the parents or older participants only first for an hour of delivering very informal assistance with interview techniques, CV creation and other tools required to enhance employment prospects. This first part of the weekly sessions is delivered in partnership with the National Careers Service.
In the second hour of the two hour sessions, the parents or elder participants are joined by the children to participate in coached games
