Day 1 involved some in-class learning to help set the scene & get the participants pumped. From learning job search skills (even those already in the work force could benefit from a refresher) and life skills. To expand: how to manage your money, how to dress for an job interview, how to iron your clothes, to name a few.

Day 2 shifted from the classroom to learning on-the-job, with work experience organised for our SLES trainees. Some of our SLES trainees have had work experience over many industries from Real Estate, Warehousing, Retail and working in a Gym, to Hospitality, such as working in a busy café. Here they learn real skills on what is required to earn that job, as well as the social skills to work with customers and colleagues.

The day allowed for the ability to experience socialising and interacting with new people in a work environment, furthering our aim of strengthening their confidence and learning more about careers in general.

The final day took a different route, with the group experiencing a fun, social outing fused with learning. The group enjoyed a touch of fishing, over to a bit of action on the bowling alley, balanced with a visit to the museum and a spot of lunch. Day 3 did, of course, include some learning and training. Overall, this day is all about having fun together with learning thrown into the mix.

The day encouraged the group to travel plan and tested their teamwork, communication & organisational skills. Through the SLES service at Connex Life, we ensure you gain real-world experience, and develop the skills and confidence to secure your preferred career path.

By experiencing and learning about different environments, together with travel planning, our trainees are prepared and able to apply for jobs outside their local areas. By being familiar with locations outside their local area, it allows for the SLES trainee to have greater opportunities & potentially land that dream job.
