The Training and Mentoring Project (TAM) offers accredited vocational training and learning opportunities for adults with learning needs leading to employment.
The Training and Mentoring Project offers a comprehensive Induction programme before students begin at any vocational skills development project in Vision 21. The Induction process aims to give a welcoming, supportive and structured Induction to Vision 21.
TAM supports students to settle into Vision 21, provides training throughout their placement and support when moving on to further opportunities, as and when appropriate.
Before starting a course, a Taster day will be offered to see if it suits the student’s needs. TAM offer courses tailored to individual needs, accredited by OCN.

TAM student mentoring helps students to unlock their potential through a variety of life skill courses.
The Project aim is to provide mentoring for our students. Through building their confidence and skills in vocational training we provide support and encouragement to students to be part of the process of mentoring others.
I have been acting as a Mentor is to introduce new students to Vision 21 with a new Starter Pack and DVD.
This will benefit Vision 21 because every new student will have an idea of what Vision 21 is about. Those students who have been in Vision 21 for a number of years will be involved in the Induction.
Volunteering really makes a difference to the work we do and helps to augment the service we offer to our students. TAM support volunteers within the project, and mentor existing students if they are ready to become volunteers.
Volunteering is a great way to develop new skills and confidence whilst giving something back to the community.
If you are interested in volunteering please refer to our Volunteer page.
Training and Mentoring supports 'work ready' students to move on from Vision 21 into paid employment.
