Work Experience TST has joined forces with a number of organisations to offer young people within Cornwall and Devon the opportunity to gain first hand practical experience of working within the countryside sector. These courses are designed for anyone who enjoys being outdoors who is between 14 - 16 year olds. The aim of the course is to give young people the opportunity of experiencing a wide range of tasks utilised in the outdoors sector. TST will use its unique facilities to teach these young people new skills. TST can tailor make programmes to meet individual schools needs. The courses can be specific for example conservation, construction, agriculture, mechanics or designed to encompass a wider range of skills from across the different landbased spectrum. Course can be designed to meet individual student or group needs and can range from a week, to a term, to a whole academic year and can be offered from one to five days per week. These courses also include challenges designed to build confidence, promote team work and develop communication and organisational skills. The emphasis is on experiential education that is both fun and practical. The aim is to develop both social and practical skills which will help young people on their future career path. These courses can also act as a stepping stone to nationally recognised qualifications such as Land-based Skills, Careers Progression Diploma, Apprenticeships, First Diplomas, etc. While much of the course will involve participation in outdoor activities students will also receive instruction in life skills, health and safety and landbased sector career guidance and advice.
