Life Skills and Career Coaching for Teens: A Practical Manual for Supporting School Engagement, Aspirations and Success in Young People aged 11-18

Setting out a year-long curriculum based programme for education and youth professionals, this book provides a challenging and engaging workshop-based approach to developing school engagement and ambitions in young people aged 11-18. The programme, which is informed by CBT, helps professionals to understand barriers to young people’s school engagement and learning. It outlines a case for a practical, well-rounded curriculum that readies students for life post-education through eight core themes, including ‘believing in me’, ‘money matters’ and ‘business basics’. The second part of the book is a photocopiable manual for use in classroom settings, making this an essential, hands-on manual for nurturing young people’s life skills.
