My Employment Passport’s Bronze offer is entitled How to Make a Video CV. This free ten-module course looks at a fresh approach to supporting young people with additional needs into paid employment. The course itself is a video course - each module has a video, a session plan for facilitators, worksheets for young people and, crucially, Summary and Suggestion Sheets for the young people, that they can use in their own time. The course can be run at schools, colleges, community groups, day services and by parents.
Who benefits from this?
The participants will fall, most likely, into two groups:
Group A: those young people from level 1 up to level 3, who (probably) have the ability to use video-editing software, or learn how to use it. Many of these young people will be at mainstream schools and will have support needs around ADHD, autism, dyslexia and other hidden disabilities. Group B: those young people from entry level up to level 1 who (probably) would find video-editing software too challenging to use. Most of these young people would be at special schools, and specialist provisions. Group A use, what the course calls, dark blue worksheets and Group B use, what the course calls, light blue worksheets.
How much does it cost, and how does it work?
It costs nothing; this course is completely free. As for how it works, facilitators are given clear instructions in their session plans how to use the two types of worksheets, and this is explained further in the introductory 35-minute facilitators’ video tutorial. If you’re interested, please email richard@myemploymentpassport and he will send you all the resources. These consist of ten video links, the facilitators’ video tutorial, and the session plans and Activity Sheets for Group A or Group B or both.
