Our land-based work programmes have been designed to support customers to develop the skills and confidence necessary to deliver community and land-based services and re-enter employment. In order to reduce the waiting time for customers wishing to access our programme we operate a ‘roll on/roll off’ programme as well as fixed six- and 12-week programmes the content of which is determined by seasonal and weather conditions.
Programme Objectives
- To help customers to develop their confidence and self-esteem and raise aspirations through the achievement of tasks
- To encourage appropriate and positive interactions with peers
- To develop trust and a sense of responsibility towards themselves, others and the environment
- To develop new practical skills and understand and manage risks
- To provide customers with the opportunity to acquire a range of employment related qualifications
- To help customers to identify their own strengths and weaknesses
- To introduce a range of employment opportunities in the land-based sector
