About Spear
The Spear Programme supports young people facing challenging barriers to work and education.
TEAM
The Spear Programme is run by friendly and experienced coaches, who lead a group of young people through a series of work-readiness topics, with a strong emphasis on attitudinal and soft skills coaching alongside practical requirements.
Centre Manager
Izzie Thompson
Our coaches are one of our greatest assets. They're a brilliantly skilled bunch, who really care about seeing our trainees succeed.
We love how Izzie, our centre manager explains that the highlight of her job is seeing a young person's spark come back
The Spear Programme has a proven track record: 75% of the young people who complete the first six weeks of the programme not only get into work or return to education but are still there a year later. Thanks to our partnerships with business, young people we’ve trained have gone on to work for EQ Investors, Kea Consultants, JP Morgan, Sky, and even Buckingham Palace
