At Calman Trust our aim is to enable young people in the Highlands, aged 15-25, who are at risk of being left behind as a result of their personal challenges, to become confident and capable young adults, prepared to manage independent living or a job, and to join in the community, their life chances improved.Â
How it works
At Calman it is our aim to support each young person at a pace that is right for them. Progress and achievement is discussed and measured regularly, with the young person at the centre, ensuring that their involvement with Calman is always aligned to the skills and goals they are working towards.
Activity and Learning
Each young person is an individual with different interests, talents and goals. We offer a range of learning activities through which important skills are built – skills that take young people closer to a successful future.
At Calman, we recognise the importance of soft skill building and believe that these can be developed through involvement in activities that are relevant to each young person’s individual talents and interests. Regular participation as part of a structured learning plan can support progress in areas such as interpersonal skills, problem solving, self-awareness, literacy, numeracy, and planning and decision making.
The world of work and training
At Calman we offer opportunities to take part in Work Experience in a hospitality environment, working alongside our café and training team members to support and recognise progression. No matter what stage someone is at in the journey towards the world of work, we offer tailored work experience placements to support this progression. Â
Moving forward
At Calman it is our aim to support each young person at a pace that is right for them. Progress and achievement is discussed and measured regularly, with the young person at the centre, ensuring that their involvement with Calman is always aligned to the skills and goals they are working towards.
