Learn 2 Work

Learn2Work is a bespoke 6-week employment support programme, for young people aged 16-18 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Learn2Work is  designed to help young people navigate their journey to employability.

During the programme young people learn essential skills through hands-on workshops. As well as having the opportunity to connect with employers and experience a workplace environment.

Through participation in this Learn2Work programme, young people will take part in:

• Professional skill development workshops themed on topics such as personal finance, customer service, social media campaigns etc
• Personalised life skill training
• CV development workshops and engagement with the working world

Sculpt’s Learn2Work programme supports young people to build and evidence essential skills through real-world, engaging experiences. Over a series of structured sessions, learners focus on Listening, Speaking, Problem Solving and Teamwork—progressing through Skills Builder steps via interactive activities such as business planning, budgeting challenges, and team-led campaigns.

Each session includes benchmarking, skill practice, and reflection, helping learners track their development and gain confidence. Scenarios based on customer service, financial literacy, and youth leadership provide meaningful contexts for applying skills in practical ways. Learner reflection logs show clear progression, self-awareness, and ownership of their growth.

The programme embeds skill-building intentionally and consistently, empowering participants to transfer what they learn to future education, employment, and life contexts.
