About Us
Better Choices is a practical 2-week personal development programme designed to support people to build confidence, strengthen employability skills and prepare for future opportunities in work, training or education.
We support people to develop positive habits, improve confidence, and build the skills needed to take meaningful next steps towards independence and employment.
The programme is now officially CPD certified. Participants who complete the programme will receive a recognised CPD certificate, which they can add to their CV and use as evidence of learning and personal development.
Supporting You Into Work and Beyond
If you are a care-experienced young person aged 18+, starting to think about work, training or your next steps, this programme may be a helpful starting point.
We understand that everyone’s journey is different, and confidence, experience and opportunity do not always come at the same time.
Better Choices is designed to support people to build themselves up at their own pace, in a structured and supportive environment.
You do not need previous qualifications or experience to take part.
