ARE you a school leaver with big dreams and a passion to succeed? Are you wondering what to do after getting your results and thinking about your next step? Then take it with confidence at People 1st.
We have a school leavers training course in West Belfast called ‘Skills for Life and Work’ that is specifically created for school leavers to allow you to earn while you learn. You get paid to study with People 1st and get an NVQ Qualification and real practical experience to help set you up for the world of work. Making that jump from school to a full-time job can be too much sometimes, so this course allows you to get some work experience while getting trained by our talented team of tutors at the same time.
We believe that success is built on a strong foundation of support, guidance, and encouragement. Our dedicated team is the heartbeat of People 1st and we have been training school leavers for over 25 years, and we want to help shape your journey towards a brighter future.
As Charlie, a Hairdressing student, says: “I left school feeling so de-motivated and a failure and People 1st has shown me I could succeed. I have been encouraged from day one and their support and belief in me has built my self-confidence. I am now leaving with all my qualification and a Level 2 NVQ in Hairdressing, along with a job. If it’s the best training you want, and people that really care, then People 1st is the place to go.”
