UPRISING ‘SOCIAL ACTION WORKSHOPS’

UpRising is a UK-wide youth leadership development organisation, with a mission to open pathways to power for talented young people from diverse and under-represented backgrounds.

Programmes that are currently running in Birmingham with the relevant Project Managers information:

FASTLANERS: Is for 18-25 year olds who might have some sort of work experience, perhaps a qualification or a degree, but who are struggling to find a meaningful job that will kick start their career.

Fastlaners is designed to equip participants with the knowledge, networks, skills, and confidence to improve their job prospects and find meaningful employment. Over the course of the programme, participants meet professionals from a range of industries, receive mentoring support, participate in CV clinics and mock interviews, network with recruitment professionals, and develop the confidence to secure fulfilling employment.

We are proud to be a recipient of a Queen’s Young Leaders grant to deliver Fastlaners to 600 young people from 2016-2019.

UPRISING SCHOOLS PROGRAMME: Working with schools, colleges and youth groups to deliver a range of interactive workshops. The programme takes many forms but is designed to provide students with transferable skills and develop confidence and resilience.
