Working Rite

It's a project that doesn't look like a project

Working Rite is based around the concept of a 'deal' that both the youngsters and tradesmen agree to and understand. It's a brokered 6 month work placement - a working partnership between the Trainee and Tradesman. Both regard it as real work - not a 'project' or a course.

The Deal - for the Trainee
•  It looks, feels, and pays like a real job
•  You gain real practical skills
•  You gain real on-site experience
•  You are treated as one of the workforce
•  It's a great route onto an apprenticeship

The Deal - for the Tradesman
•  It's a hassle free recruitment process with no obligation
•  There's no paperwork mountain
•  You get an extra pair of hands for minimal cost
•  No expenditure on tools or PPE
•  If things don't go according to plan, there's always backup  

For both parties - it's real

How the project is managed Each local project is run by an exiting organisation in the local area - often a housing association. Working Rite CIC works with that organisation (and other partners) to identify funding, set up the project's systems, recruit the Project Co-ordinator, and induct them into the Working Rite method.

Working Rite CIC was founded with support from the Wood Family Trust and the Laidlaw Youth Trust.
