‘Non-offending career!’ With Eureka - Life and Enterprise Skills for our next generation!

‘Non-offending career!’ - With Eureka - Life and Enterprise Skills for our next generation!

Combining a cognitive-behavioural approach with experiential methods, we create programmes, which involve participants in a series of group and/or individual games and exercises. These are designed to help individuals understand more about the values, behaviours and skills people need to begin and develop a non-offending career or business for them-selves, but in an enjoyable, accessible and memorable way!

This gives our facilitators an opportunity to identify the areas for development which is then the focus of the skills-practice based sessions designed to engage and motivate individuals and leave them with the confidence and understanding to take steps towards an exciting future!
Our work can last for anything from ½ a day to a 3 - month intensive programme and will address how to earn, manage, and enjoy money covering, issues such as;
An introduction to the possibilities of entrepreneurship

• The value of making smart money decisions while young
  
• The impact of advertising
  
• Representing yourself well
  
• Being a wise consumer and how to avoid the overuse of credit
  
• The value of money and their own attitudes to spending & saving
  
• Communication, problem solving, time management and business speaking
  
• How our attitude to money is shaped by the world around us
  
• Social responsibility in business and the world around us
  
• Money making opportunities in meeting the needs of their communities
  
• Using their own skills and talents to kick start their Life Journeys
  
  
  Our team is drawn from Business, Education, Commercial, Criminal Justice System and The Media. All of our facilitators have an understanding of Cognitive-behavioural Theory(Beck, 1976; Ellis and Grieger, 1986; Beck and Freeman, 1990), and Eureka’s work is underpinned by Social Learning Theory (Bandura 1977). We believe our all-rounded approach to Life Skills is essential for the next generation of adults.

Are schools producing young people who are work-ready.

There's a perception that schools aren't producing young people who are work-ready.
Research by CBI reveals some sad facts about how employers see today's school-leavers.

· 74% said school=leavers lack business awareness
· 67% said they don't know how to manage themselves
· 53% said young people lack knowledge about their chosen jobs and careers
· 50% said that young people don't have the skills needed for work.


Depressing, certainly. But perhaps not all that surprising. For too long the worlds of education and businesses have been too far apart.

That's why we at Eureka help children prepare for the real world.

Eureka is about nurturing the next generation, about bringing commercial expertise and business experience into the class room, providing a all rounded approach to Enterprise Education by inspiring commercial acumen, business and financial skills in school children, through play and games.
