Me Unlimited Personal Development Programmes For Young People
Helping to unleash the natural talent and potential of school children, students and those seeking employment
Positive Horizons is very proud to be a facilitator of this exciting range of four personal development programmes to prepare learners for life and work. The Me Unlimited Programmes support learners to manage their important educational transitions and the changes, choices, emotions and decisions that accompany them.
They will learn how to become independent learners and thinkers who will know how to take responsibility for their own actions; and become suitably qualified and skilled to seamlessly join the world of work.
By developing self awareness and knowledge of team work and the world of work learners will be empowered to make important life and career choices from a position of knowledge and strength. They will learn about who they are, what they are going to do and what they want to achieve.
Learners will develop the skills, confidence and self belief to set aspirational life, career and education goals and learn how to take responsibility for planning and achieving a happy and fulfilling personal and working life.
Unemployed and adults in career transition and redundancy situations will benefit from these programmes.
The four personal development programmes in the Me Unlimited range build on and reinforce each other and are supported by unique workbooks and a personal development toolkit. These programmes are being used all over the country in schools, out of school and in clubs.

Me Unlimited Delivery
The Me Unlimited Programmes can be delivered in a one-to-one situation in your home, at my address in North London, or in schools, colleges and universities. Sessions last approximately one hour, and each programme would need at least six sessions - preferably weekly.
The programmes are suitable for those from the age of 9 years upwards. They are also suitable and useful for those who are seeking employment.
It is anticipated that eventually, I will be able to train other people to deliver the programmes; including peer coaches, learning mentors, parents, business leaders and teachers to support aspects of the delivery of the programme in schools, colleges and universities.
The Programmes can also be delivered to groups of no more than four.
