Young Minds

Accessible for young teenagers upward, the nationally recognised organisation Young Minds (who have delivered face to face training for us last year on Social Media and Mental Health), provide tips, advice and guidance for looking after your mental health, whatever you're dealing with, during the coronavirus pandemic. They also have specific advice for young people if they are struggling with self-isolation, coronavirus and the impact it has on your mental health.

National Literacy Trust – Get feedback on your CV

To support you while schools and colleges are closed and businesses are working from home, the National Literacy Trust has put together a checklist of activities and resources that will boost your young person’s skills and help them in your next steps. Each week they are setting an employability challenge to help your young people get started.

This week they are challenging your young people to write their CV and send it to them for feedback.

The National Literacy Trust also has plenty of tips on how to write a CV to help get noticed by employers. More details are available below-
