We are here to support our young people – however we do not have a 24 hour helpline service. If you need help, or someone to talk to right now, please visit our support line contacts
Our Mission
WorkingRite is the practical pathway to a job or apprenticeship.
Lasting between 18 & 24 weeks (or longer if that’s what it takes), our trainees learn on the job, alongside a mentor chosen from the workforce of that business to pass on what they know.
WorkingRite is a relationship-based and person-centred model of learning. Quite simply designed to inspire young people to succeed, with mentors as the key throughout:
after all… everyone remembers their first boss!
What We Do
WorkingRite helps young people get their foot in the door, regardless of their academic background or previous experience.
We have a holistic approach – listening to what each individual young person says and giving them the tailored support
they need to overcome personal challenges or circumstance.
We believe not everything can be simulated in a classroom or rehearsed in tests.
Many important skills can only be learnt working side-by-side with an experienced adult – on the job, where it counts.
We therefore individually match young people to local businesses for work placements lasting up to six months.
Our trainees learn in a proper workplace, receive one-to-one mentoring, earn a weekly allowance
and are given the chance to prove themselves in the real world of work.
