Skills4Success is a project for 16-19 year olds with lower support needs and provides the opportunity to learn and develop their skills alongside accessing social opportunities within the community. Post 16 education provisions may not always offer full time courses or training, therefore S4S provides alternative options during any free days a young person may have in their weekly timetable. Our skills courses offer a smaller, quieter environment for learning and can be adapted to suit the needs of the individual. Most of our skills courses will run for approximately 6 weeks and follow a planned scheme of work. We aim to empower the learners, reduce anxieties, build confidence and independence and develop skills which will be transferable as they approach adulthood. Courses available include: • Communication and Social Skills • Money Management • Pre-Employment and Volunteering • Travel Training. The courses are run at various venues throughout Bedfordshire. For more information please email: amy.gavin-birch@autismbeds.org
