The EmpowerEd Approach
We are passionate about young people and ensuring they are given the support, tools and resources to thrive. We have a professional team that offer excellent support and programmes to each individual we support.
We understand that for mentoring or coaching to be effective, an excellent student:mentor match is required. We take the time to understand the individual we are supporting and ensure we propose a perfect match for them. This ensures that students find their mentor or coach relatable and engaging. Without the right 'click' of personalities, mentoring and coaching can often be ineffective and this is something we want to avoid.
We ensure that all of our students are making positive progress and continually adapt our support to maximise development and progression.
