Momentum

'Momentum' is a 12-week personal development programme for young people 16-25 who are not in education, training or employment.

All activities and sessions are based on 1 or more of the essential skills and steps. Young people have time to reflect on the skills before the activity in the session, apply them during the session and have time afterwards to evaluate and reflect. All worksheets have the essential skills icons on them, and the focus steps are written on them too. The classroom, there is a display of all skills and the steps. In weeks one, six and twelve of the programme, young people use Skills Builder Benchmark to self-assess. This shows both the young people and staff the progress which has been made and any areas that may need more focus.
