🏢 This month a second 14-weeks study programme commenced. 11 NEETs registered.

WIDER COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

• Our Social Value team met with Pathway Group, a training provider to discuss delivering an employability bootcamp. It was agreed that once the 14-week study programme group is settled and days the Quad will be used by Mit Skills, Pathway Group could view the Knowledge Quad and plan the boot camp.
• We met with Shooters Hill College on site this month, as the College is keen to use the void flats on site compound to hold their multi skills and painting and decorating classes.
• Our Social Value team met with M.I.T Skills to finalise the 14-week study programme for NEETs.
• On Monday 16th September we held a registration day for young people (NEETs).
• M.I.T Skills are using the Knowledge Quad Monday to Wednesday along with two void flats for the study programme. 11 young people are on the programme.
• This month the two T-Level students from LSEC restarted their 45-industrial placement on the Woolwich Leisure Centre, with the Site Management and Quantity Surveying teams.
