Once your eligibility has been confirmed, you’ll need to fill out a participant entry form and an initial assessment survey. This might seem like a lot of paperwork, but don’t worry as we are here to help you get it done so you can begin a programme with us.

Once the paperwork is out the way, you can begin your programme. You’ll receive constant support from a one-to-one mentor who will guide and encourage you, so that by the end of the programme you are in a position to progress.
