The Veloheads Programme
Veloheads aims to support young people to develop skills for life and for work. The emphasis is on developing vocational skills, independent living skills, key skills and personal and social development.
We put our trainees at the very centre of everything we do.
Veloheads offers a two year programme, with an optional third year if required.
Programmes are tailored to meet the needs, aspirations and interests of individuals. There are a range of awards and accredited courses available to support you in moving on to the next stage in your life.
When you start your programme at Veloheads we will discuss with you what you aim to achieve during your time here and will set targets to enable you to succeed. We will monitor your progress through weekly meetings and half termly progress review meetings.
