A year-long curriculum-based programme designed to prevent young people from disengaging from education and the learning process, providing the tools and support they need to ignite a passion for success and belief in their future potential. The book includes a photocopiable manual of activities to use in the classroom.

Setting out a year-long curriculum based programme for education and youth professionals, this book provides a challenging and engaging workshop-based approach to developing school engagement and ambitions in young people aged 11-18.

The programme, which is informed by CBT, helps professionals to understand barriers to young people's school engagement and learning. It outlines a case for a practical, well-rounded curriculum that readies students for life post-education through eight core themes, including 'believing in me', 'money matters' and 'business basics'. The second part of the book is a photocopiable manual for use in classroom settings, making this an essential, hands-on manual for nurturing young people's life skills.

Nikki Giant specialises in supporting schools and youth organisations to promote girls' rights and is the previous founder of two social enterprises: Full Circle Education, which aimed to support schools to promote youth wellbeing, and Girls Circle, a non-profit supporting girls and young women across Wales.
