Our programme is designed to support the goals of organisations working in the public services space such as Housing associations, local Authorities, DWP or corporate organizations investing in communities.

These organisations will have a mission to improve the lives of people in the community and to have a sustainable impact on their health, wealth and wellbeing.

The key focus for these organisations tends to be enabling people to secure employment and to improve the quality of their lives. Our corporate packages are tailored according to needs of the sponsor, however please see our current design options shown below as examples of commissions we are requested to deliver.

What Can Transform and Achieve do for the participant?

People who take part in T&A programme, whether face to face or online, become consciously competent in the skills and qualities needed to improve mental and psychical health, social competence, successfully secure work or start up and operate a business

Outcomes

Typically 50% of delegates secure employment, 17% find work placements and 9% enrol in training.

In 2020, we completed our JP Morgan contract of 25 programmes in East London.

We achieved a total of 470 individuals attending and 237 into work, which is 50.5%.

We were aiming for 50% into work by September 2020, and we are very happy to report that we reached the target 6 months early.

We earn our 85-90% retention rate by ensuring that every course is inspirational, relevant and inclusive for all participants.

We also offer follow on support to ensure all delegates get the most from the Transform & Achieve programme.

How the Transform & Achieve Programme is Designed

Content

The Transform and Achieve programme is designed to support and empower participants to make changes in their lives by equipping them with strategies to shift mindset and negative habitual patterns and enhance their ability to shine in a competitive jobs market.

The programme consists of classroom training designed to take a holistic approach to help those further away from the job market to secure work and increased health, wealth and mental wellbeing.

Goals

The goal has been to reach 460 people over the course of two years and to support at least 50% of learners into employment within 3–6 months of completing the programme. The programme model encourages a higher level of self-development for participants attending, which in turn contributes towards sustainable personal improvement and getting enough individuals into lasting employment. The background to the programme design is the recognition that when someone is out of work, it can be for a myriad of reasons, some of which are complex.

Results

Therefore, any development initiative for enabling people to effectively move forward in terms of skills and increased feelings of capability within this context needs to be pragmatic in content and transformative in its methodology. As a result, this programme adopts a novel strengths-based approach to support learners to overcome their fears. The collective action behind the programme design has been highly effective in addressing the various social and health determinants forming a barrier to the participants’ engagement with employment and training initiatives and agencies.

The cognitive participation of learners has been highly effective, evidenced by the programme exceeding its targets, with 76% of learners either securing work (51%), into volunteering (10%) or training (15%). The reflexive monitoring of learners and delivery team offers rich examples of how the programme is structured and delivered differently from other employment training programmes.
