Written by Hessel Group | Jul 31, 2024 12:19:24 AM

Navigating life's many challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you're also trying to focus on your education and career goals. At Enhance Training, we understand each student's unique hurdles and our tailored Success and Wellbeing Services (SWS) are designed to offer the care, help, and training you need to succeed. 

Our dedicated SWS Coaches make a significant difference in students' lives, helping them to achieve their personal and academic aspirations.

 

Living: The Foundation of Student Well-being

One of the primary areas where a SWS coach can make a significant difference is in a student’s personal life. The living situation of students can encompass a range of issues, including:

  • Disability: Our SWS coaches connect students with the right resources and services to help manage their disabilities effectively.
  • Physical Health and Mental Health: Whether dealing with stress, anxiety, or other health concerns, our team is trained to guide students to appropriate services and supports.
  • Financial Stress and Accommodation: Many students face financial hurdles or housing difficulties. We assist students in navigating financial aid options or finding suitable accommodation.

This support is crucial because it allows students to focus more on their studies rather than being overwhelmed by personal issues. By addressing these barriers, we help students create a more stable foundation for their educational efforts.

Learning: Empowering Academic Success

In academic learning, SWS coaches are invaluable in helping students grasp course content and overcome comprehension barriers. Here’s how they support academics:

  • Understanding Course Content: We work closely with students to break down complex concepts, making the material more accessible.
  • Language Support: For those whose first language isn't English, our coaches assist in making the learning process smoother.
  • Study Skills Development: SWS coaches case workers coach students on study techniques and organisational skills to ensure they are better prepared for assessments and exams.

This kind of academic support is indispensable. It boosts students' confidence and academic performance, paving the way for successful completion of their courses.

Transitioning: From Courses to Careers

Once students have conquered their educational challenges, our SWS coaches focus on the future. Transition support includes:

  • Career Preparation: From helping students write CVs and cover letters to conducting mock interviews, we prepare students for the job market.
  • Course Transition: We assist students in navigating the move from one course to another, ensuring the transition is as smooth as possible.

Whether students plan to pursue further education or employment, SWS services provide ongoing support for up to 12 weeks following course completion, ensuring they are well-prepared to step into the next phase of their lives.

Personalised Support in Action

At Enhance Training, we are committed to providing a custom-fit solution for every student. Our SWS coaches can support students with:

  • Housing Assistance: We connect students with emergency housing services and communicate with housing authorities to secure long-term solutions.
  • Justice Support: For students involved with the justice system, our coaches attend court hearings, provide letters of support, and connect them with necessary community services.
  • Domestic Violence Advocacy: We support students in reporting abuse, obtaining restraining orders, and connecting with shelters and counselling services.
  • Mental Health and Disability: We arrange necessary adjustments to accommodate students' mental health and disability needs, liaising with training providers to ensure their educational experience is as smooth as possible.
  • Transport and Financial Aid: Our support extends to practical matters such as travel planning, negotiating training schedules to fit travel needs, and connecting students with financial aid services.
