NCS Concordia Summer Work recruitment presentation 2014

Sussex UniNCS presentation

Thursday 30th January

NCS believes that given the respect, tools and

opportunity, young people can influence the world around them to initiate

change

NCS Ethos

• Social Mixing: Providing young people with the opportunity to mix and build relationships with people from different social backgrounds;

• Challenge: Putting young people through a series of challenging activities to take them out of their comfort zone and develop strength of character;

• Increased responsibility and independence: Providing a progressive journey that hands over more responsibility to young people as the programme progresses and develops the leadership skills necessary to succeed in the workplace;

• Reflection: Encouraging young people to reflect, supporting them to learn from their experiences and become more resilient, confident and more effective in their decisions and relationships;

• Social Action: Enabling young people to connect with and get involved in their communities and develop skills that are useful for future employment;

• Inspiration: Encouraging young people to flourish after NCS - continuing to mix, contribute to their community and achieve personal goals.
