WOW: Exploring the Working World of Fortem People!

On Tuesday 18th Feb, during the half-term holidays, 21 young people from our Windhill, Manningham, and Keighley centres embarked on a World of Work adventure to Fortem People.
Set in the beautiful countryside of Skipton, Fortem People's offices, it was an inspirational setting for a day of fun and informative activities.
"I want to work in the countryside now and own a farm." - Chelsea
We started the day with a game of 'SNAP,' matching job descriptions with jobs.
We then discussed personality types, relating them to animals, and explored how these characteristics might suit certain job roles.
"I feel like I'm a lion because I'm a leader, and less like a bee because I'm not organised." - Ellie
"This is helpful as I've just picked my GCSE options!" - Shianne
"Personality types are important in the world of work to show people's work qualities." - Ishaaq
After a morning of great discussion, we were treated to lunch! The young people were so excited to choose from a delicious menu from the gourmet food van!
To round off the day, after lunch, we enjoyed a treasure hunt- exploring the surrounding farm and finding key words / characteristics that make a good employee!
"I've learned to get a job you just have to have a good attitude, and you don't have to be really brainy." - Fuschia
"Today I've learned open-ended questions." - Jacob
"You can be whatever you want to be, don't let people judge you or tear you down."- Kyra
We'd like to say a HUGE thank you to Rachel, Jane, and the whole Fortem People team. The young people had a wonderfully engaging and educational day. Thank you for your warm welcome and brilliant hosting our visit has made a big and lasting impression on our youngsters!
