We are proud to run the Spear Programme at st peter’s, which helps young people into work through coaching.

Are you currently out of work, training or education? Maybe you’re struggling with low confidence, mental health issues, no qualifications or a criminal record? Spear can help.

Spear is a free, 6-week training programme, followed by a full year of coaching support, which helps young people into work or education. We provide professional-level coaching to build confidence, motivation and the vital skills needed to succeed in long-term employment.

Over 75% of those who complete the Spear Programme get into work or further training, and are still there a year later.

What is Spear?

The programme is designed for young people, 16 to 24-years-old, who are not in education, employment or training. The course starts with a six week intensive group program, with coaching continuing for the duration of the year, in the next phase of the course called, Spear Career. If you’re thinking about joining Spear, our coaches would love to hear from you to chat through any questions you have.
