What is it?
The Warnborough Foundation’s COMPASS programme helps individuals discover and build on their own capabilities and interests. Participants are supported by friendly and experienced Warnborough staff, employers, mentors and coaches to reach their maximum potential.
COMPASS participants can self-discover skill sets and skills gaps while building confidence and healthy self-belief. It gives people a clearer way of looking at the life and career options available to them.
How does it work?
- Speak with one of our staff to see if the programme is suitable for you.
- Tell us what you have and/or need for the programme to work for you.
- When you begin the COMPASS programme, you will work through a series of learning activities and exercises in your own time and ability.
- You should engage with your local community through work experience and volunteering. This helps to build healthy and constructive relationships with employers, peers and your community.
