No Limits Employability Programme

Altrincham FC community is excited to be launching a 12-week programme tailored at young adults aged 18-25 with Special Educational Needs. Sessions will be a mixed of practical and classroom, where they will learn skills to help build their confidence and get them job ready. Altrincham FC will be providing work experience at the stadium where students will get to join the coaching staff and grounds staff providing vital hands-on work experience.  We've also partnered with Wise Up, who will be offering dedicated 1-2-1 mentoring and further work experience opportunities upon completion of the 12-week programme." 

Our aim is to empower these young adults, equipping them with the skills and confidence to thrive in the workplace." #NOLIMITS

“I am so thrilled to be joining the Altrincham FC community team as Employability Manager.  

I started as a disability youth worker at the age of 16 (Many Moons ago) running Disability youth clubs, sports camps and dance sessions. I've since gained extensive experience in Special Educational Needs in Primary and High school across Greater Manchester.  I have over 10 years’ experience in Employability coaching, I am passionate about supporting people to find their passion and help them break down barriers to achieve their goals”
