(T2 Rising A) Week 2: Introduction to Work & Personal Strengths

Week 2: Introduction to Work & Personal Strengths

Week 2 introduces participants to the idea of work and employment pathways in a supportive and accessible way. The focus is on exploring personal strengths, interests, and skills, and how these can link to different types of work, volunteering, or future study. Participants are supported to build self-awareness and confidence, while beginning to understand what being “work-ready” can look like at their own pace.

What to Expect on the Day

• Group discussion around what “work” means and the different ways people participate (paid work, volunteering, study)

• Simple activities to help identify personal strengths, interests, and skills

• Opportunities to reflect on what participants enjoy, feel confident in, or would like to learn

• Introduction to basic workplace concepts such as roles, routines, and expectations

• Supported conversation linking strengths to real-world opportunities

• Regular breaks and flexible participation options

• Time for questions and one-to-one support if needed

Activities are designed to be low-pressure and inclusive. Participants can join in at their own comfort level, with support available throughout the session.
