By Tony Sewell | coding for ex-offenders
The project has been innovative. Opportunities for young ex-offenders have been very difficult, with few employers willing to take risks. This project not only supported this group but used resources raised to give them key technical skills to have a fighting chance for a job.
The project fulfilled 3 objectives for 300 students.
1 They have secured real coding skills that can be used for employement and further training
2 We gave students some key soft skills:
Trust of others- how much I trust others’ ideas, qualities and opinions in this lesson
. Pace- how much pace, risk and change I like in this lesson
Disclosure- how willing am I share to share thoughts, ideas, opinions and questions in this lesson
Perspective- whether I see things from a detached or personal perspective in this lesson
Processing- whether I focus on making connections or following step by step in this lesson
Planning- whether I focus on the learning outcome or am open ended in this lesson
3 We have placed most of our students on real work inernships with STEM companies
We would like to thank all our donors for their Generoisty
