Teenage Boot Camp & Personal Development Courses for Young People
Helping young people aim higher and achieve more
Young people excluded from education or work between the ages of 16-18 is a major predictor of later unemployment, low income, teenage motherhood, depression and poor physical health.
At Team Academy™ we are proud to part of the Government’s programme to target disaffected young people. The multi-agency approach to tackling these problems has produced some very encouraging results. Local authorities, schools, youth support services and, through the Learning and Skills Council, Team Academy™ have pooled their resources to raise expectations and help these young people re-engage in education, employment or training.
Our challenging courses awaken delegates’ sense of purpose and self-worth
Team Academy™ offer a choice of specialist programmes plus our highly successful teenage boot camp for young people struggling with complex issues:
- 14-16 year-olds at risk of exclusion
- 16-19 year-olds looking for employment/training/education
- Young people known to the Youth Offending Team
- Hard to reach individuals
‘Sky’s the Limit’ – the teenage boot camp challenge
Our three-week teenage boot camp (there’s no other word for it!) for 12 young people encourages them to face up to their predicament and confront personal issues of motivation and self-esteem. The teenage boot camp is aimed at teenagers facing exclusion from school, poor academic results and few opportunities.
Using outdoor activities, confidence-building and motivational challenges, the teenage boot camp helps young people realise they have options and can achieve in employment, education or training.
Our experience has taught us that many of these young people are the hardest to reach in a structured training environment - despite all the satisfaction they get on the teenage boot camp! We believe that if we can be successful with them, we can bring real change to a vast range of settings, including the corporate environment. Team Academy™ is pleased to have achieved some remarkable results with our experiential learning teenage boot camp.
