Landsec Futures
Landsec Futures is a transformative 12-week initiative designed to empower individuals with additional needs to acquire essential life and professional skills to move into volunteering and employment. At Pompey in the Community, we are dedicated to providing opportunities for personal growth and development, equipping participants with the tools they need to succeed in the working world.
About Us
Landsec Futures is more than just a training course—it’s a life-changing journey that helps individuals develop practical skills, boost their confidence, and unlock their full potential.
Our comprehensive curriculum covers various topics, including culinary skills, CV workshops, and real-world work experience. Through hands-on activities, interactive workshops, and personalised support, participants gain valuable insights and experiences that prepare them for success in the kitchen and beyond.
Who We Serve
The Landsec Futures Programme works with underrepresented individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and those who have suffered a brain injury who may need support developing life skills and confidence.
We provide a supportive and inclusive space where participants can learn, grow, and thrive, regardless of their background or previous experience.
Highlights of the Programme
Throughout the 12-week programme, participants engage in enriching experiences tailored to their needs and interests. Some highlights include:
1. Core Skills development Development
Participants will gain skill development across food, hospitality, retail and domestic industries/sector supported by partners based out of Gunwharf Quays and Portsmouth FC.
2. CV Workshops and Job Readiness Training
Our programme includes workshops focused on CV writing, interview preparation, and workplace etiquette. Participants learn to communicate their skills and experiences effectively, increasing their employability and confidence in pursuing future job opportunities.
3. Real-World Work Experience
Participants can gain valuable work experience through placements in local kitchens and food establishments as part of the programme. From assisting chefs in busy restaurants to preparing meals for community events, participants gain practical experience and valuable insights into the culinary industry.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate the achievements of our participants, we are committed to continuing our mission of empowering individuals with additional needs to reach their full potential. Through ongoing support, mentorship, and advocacy, we aim to create a more inclusive and accessible culinary industry where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
