Existing context
Birmingham Vineyard publicly runs Employability Workshops, including activities such as mock interviews with schools and colleges.
Sanctuary's programme direction
- Structure employability as a continuing pathway rather than a one-off workshop
- Connect short foundational training with real employment pathways
- Develop entrepreneurship as a parallel route for suitable participants
- Use practical business environments as learning and progression opportunities
- Create progression from participant to worker, leadership and potentially independent enterprise
Pilot thinking
Hot Snack has been discussed as an early practical environment for connecting short employability preparation with real work experience and progression.
Long-term vision
The wider idea is for a church/community ecosystem that can identify capability, strengthen employability, support enterprise and help participants move towards sustainable economic participation.
