Engage Plus is a trainee’s next step and allows them achieve a full level 1 qualification as well as continuing to build their basic skills and giving them taster sessions in ICT, multimedia and sports leadership.

It is always great to see the ways in which City Gateway has changed young people’s lives and helped individuals feel more confident, giving them the ability to shine through their time with us. One of our recent trainees Rubana told us how she has been to other training centres but none has engaged her in a positive way and built up her confidence like City Gateway has.

Omer on the Engage Plus Course

Omer found it difficult to motivate himself when he left school but heard about the Engage course and felt this would help him to get back in the right direction. He progressed onto an Engage Plus Sports course, offering further tasters, personal development and accreditations. Life skills training on the course helped tackle issues such as self esteem, reliability, budgeting,healthy living and communication, ensuring he developed a rounded set of soft skills.

It did not take long for Omer to show his potential as he was polite, helpful and overwhelmingly enthusiastic about football. He sailed through a sports leadership award and a Level 1 football coaching qualification on the Engage Plus course, before progressing on to higher level training at City Gateway. Our expanded employability tuition, including CV writing and interview techniques, aims to see trainees equipped not only to gain meaningful employment but to sustain it.
