Overview


Training Philosophy

New Horizons Partnership philosophy is to enable clients to become more independent based on a person-centred approach and according to the individual's ability and needs. An important element in this effort is the development of new skills and competencies.

 

The training programmes run by New Horizons are intended to equip clients with work competencies and specific vocational skills. These programmes are integrated with the supported employment and social enterprise initiatives also run by New Horizons Partnership so training is given not just for training's sake.

 

Through the supported employment programme and the various social enterprises established by New Horizons Partnership, clients will get the opportunity to apply in a real or supported working environment the skills and competencies that they have developed on our programmes.
