What You'll Experience

This practical approach will build your confidence and give you the skills you need for future employment or volunteering opportunities.
Throughout the week, you'll also have classroom-based sessions right at ASDA. These sessions will strengthen your communication, numeracy, and digital literacy skills, ensuring you have everything you need to succeed.
Our aim is to prepare you for paid employment by:
*Helping you develop skills valued by employers.
*Enabling you to show your value in the workplace.
*Building your confidence to perform successfully at work.
Every activity on this program is designed to provide you with the specific knowledge, skills, and understanding for your individual journey. You'll also have dedicated support from an Employability Mentor and Job Coach on-site, guiding you towards working independently within the ASDA team.
