Twelve Young People Begin YMCA Tayside’s Skills Forge Programme

YMCA Tayside has proudly welcomed 12 young people onto its Skills Forge programme, a unique ten-week course designed to give participants the skills, confidence and qualifications they need to take their next steps in life and work.

The programme takes place in a supportive, inclusive environment, where every individual is encouraged to grow personally as well as professionally. Over the ten weeks, participants will gain practical experience in key areas including woodwork, IT, health and wellbeing, and personal finance. These sessions are tailored to help young people build resilience, strengthen social skills and prepare for future employment opportunities.

On successful completion, each participant will be awarded certification in personal finance, alongside an SCQF Level 4 qualification in employability. YMCA Tayside is delighted to see these 12 young people embark on their Skills Forge journey, and looks forward to celebrating their success as they develop the confidence, independence and skills needed to thrive in the world of work and beyond.
