Empowering Futures with the Pathways Programme

What is the Pathways Programme?

The Pathways Programme is a creative employability initiative designed to support young people aged 16-35 in the Black Country. Employment journeys are unique for everyone. This is why we provide free, personalised 1-to-1 sessions tailored to your needs, aspirations, and circumstances.

Build Your Future with Tailored Support

We’re committed to helping you construct the future you want. Our approach focuses on your individual journey. Each session is designed to empower you. Whether you're looking for a job, considering further education, or seeking personal growth, we are here for you.

The Role of Employment Mentoring in Pathways

Mentoring is a key part of the Pathways experience. We know that many young people face challenges that can hinder their progress. That’s where our in-house Employability and Development Coach, Tahlena, steps in.

Tahlena provides essential guidance and mentoring to help you:

✔ Identify your strengths and build confidence in your abilities

How Mentoring Drives Success

Our mentoring approach focuses on empowerment. Tahlena works closely with you, ensuring you recognize your potential. With consistent support, you can create a roadmap for your career. Mentoring makes a difference.
