Our local Community

In Ponders End, London Borough of Enfield, many young people and adults from disadvantaged backgrounds face significant challenges in terms of education, employability, and social inclusion. These individuals may lack access to quality learning opportunities and may struggle to find and maintain employment due to a lack of skills and experience.
To address this need, our community projects will offer a range of programs and services designed to support disadvantaged young people and adults in Ponders End. Our goal is to provide access to quality education, training, and employment opportunities, and to help individuals build the skills and confidence they need to succeed.

Skills Health Check

The skills health check is an in-depth collection of assessments. These assessments will generate a report, which can help you identify your personal and work-based skills.
This can be helpful at any stage of your career, like when you:
  • start your career
  • apply for a job
  • prepare for an interview
  • return to work
  • progress your career
Transferable skills are a set of skills that you’re good at. You can build them up over time, through work, volunteering, education and life. You can apply these skills to a range of jobs.
You will find out:
  • what interests and motivates you
  • how to identify your skills
  • what you can do with the skills you have
Understanding yourself can help you work out what careers you may enjoy working in.
When you finish, your counsellor will show you some suggestions of roles you may enjoy based on your answers. You may want to explore careers based on these recommendations. You can compare different careers to see what interests you.
In the next stage, your counsellor will discuss some options such as work experience, building some skills, apprenticeship, signposting and other referrals.
