SKILLS CATEGORIES
  • COACHING
    The Community Coaching Project delivers a desirable advanced management skill (Level 3 Certificate in Professional Coaching in the Workplace from the Institute of Leadership and Management) in a community setting

  • MENTORING
    The sustained mentoring experience which participants will gain through this project is completely transferable to the workplace.

  • LEADERSHIP
    Through learning how to inspire and motivate challenged individuals in the local community, Community Coaching Project graduates will develop invaluable leadership skills.

  • VOLUNTEERING
    The satisfaction of volunteering comes from feeling you have made a difference. The Community Coaching Project offers participants the chance to – literally – help a few individuals turn their life around.

COMMUNITY BENEFITS
  • YOUNG PEOPLE
    The Community Coaching Project offers those young people (16-25 years) who want to be coached a rare opportunity: a three-day watersports residential at the UK Sailing Academy in Cowes to develop their skills in working with other people. The cost of the residential for the young people is funded from the contributions businesses make to the Project.

  • NEETS (NOT IN EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT OR TRAINING)
    The Community Coaching Project works with Connexions and Barnardo’s to identify young people suffering from social and educational exclusion because they can benefit enormously from a sustained coaching and mentoring relationship with an adult who is not in a position of natural authority towards them.

  • PARENT OR CARER RETURNING TO WORK
    Life can be a struggle for adults returning to work after a period of domestic duties, especially back-to-work mums. A coach can help clarify out time-management issues and build self-confidence.

  • UNEMPLOYED
    Unemployment brings with it many difficult challenges including loss of self-esteem. Coaching can help address this, and an external mentor can be a helpful source of support to maintain focus during the often painful process of job-hunting.

  • IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES
    Integrating into the local community and into a new workplace can be difficult if you are new to this country. Talking things through with a coach and mentor on a regular basis can be enormously beneficial to maintain confidence and focus.

SCOPE OF PROJECT
The Project operates nationwide and runs twice a year, starting in March and September. Up to 15 employees can participate at any one time. Businesses can choose to either buy an entire Community Coaching Project, or to put a few employees forward for a joint programme with participants from other companies. The time commitment for the full programme is 4 x ILM - led training days and 3 x residential workshop within the first two months, followed by approx. 3 hours a month coaching experience for 10 months. The Project must be completed within a maximum of 24 months.

Alternatively, we can deliver a shorter version in the form of a two-day coaching workshop to deliver the basic skills followed by opportunities, as for the full Project, to consolidate the learning within the community.
