Our Course
Empowher is an organization that aims to engage young individuals who are distributive students, often non-attenders in mainstream education and require an alternative way of learning. We work with schools, pupil referral units and local authorities to provide functional, educational and employability skills programs. We understand that every young person has unique needs, therefore we take a diverse, creative and flexible approach to engage with them.

LESSON PLAN IMPACT
When the lessons at Empowher are not working towards accreditation or qualification they focus heavily on learner’s empowerment. The team believe strongly in building a routine and giving learners the skills including communication, respect, and resilience to be able to function in both work and school environments.
Tasks are kept short and there is a variety of activities per day including academic and practical to help learners stay focused and to accommodate Special Education and Disability Needs (SEND).
A variety of tasks enables pupils to decide which aspects of the beauty or hair industry they prefer and would like to focus on. Learners are given a voice and are allowed to vote on some activities following good behaviour.
The aim is to embed Maths, English and ICT within chosen topic areas. Learners will develop their English through writing, speaking, and listening throughout the sessions.
