M&G plc Place Based Projects: Middlesbrough, Blackpool and Rochdale
This award-winning programme is designed to support students may not be reaching their full potential and benefit from additional support through targeted skills development and aspiration-raising workshops.
What's involved?
The programme supports the participating young people to build professional networks, seek expert advice and guidance from positive role models in industry, and raise awareness about the varied opportunities in the area, including higher education and apprenticeships.
Through the course of the programme, young people are supported by our facilitators and local and national employers to develop skills, build confidence and enhance aspirations. Students engaged with peers from other schools, learn about career routes they didn't know existed, and build skills that will ultimately support them to make the transition from education to meaningful employment.

Where is this delivered?
The workshops will be delivered by TTF facilitators and supported by volunteers from careers and industries across the area.
