SDM TRAINING SERVICES
Enhancing employability skills
Welcome to SDM Training Services?
We provide specialist employability training and coaching support to enhance skills and confidence.
SDM Training Services specialise in supporting and developing individuals and groups who face barriers to employment. These groups often face unique challenges and have their skills overlooked. We work with them to understand their transferable skills and their value to the working environment.
Many of those who we support have experienced life changing events or found themselves in circumstances that are out of their control. By taking a practical and proactive approach to employability, we help each individual to identify career goals and map a pathway to achieving this. Always working towards self-efficacy, we support our service users to develop their own personal action plans.
Our 3 strands of core support focuses on separate groups who each face unique challenges in gaining employment. This enables us to best support those who have come into contact with the Criminal Justice System, have been a member of the armed forces or have an age or health related barrier to employment.

THE HIVE
Our learners have exclusive access to The Hive, which is the resource area of our website.
These active and informative employability resources are being added to and updated on a regular basis, ensuring that our learners have access to the latest information. They are varied in delivery and content to promote a blended learning approach and suit a greater variety of learning styles.
On being referred or enrolled for support, each learner is sent a link to access this area and a step by step guide explaining how to use it.
Access to The Hive is not just available whilst they are being supported. They have full access for life, ensuring the information to support them is available when they need it.
We are also aware that not all of our learners can or like to access online documents. In these cases, we are happy to send them a resource pack through the post.

Self-directed learning tasks
Between sessions, there are always self-directed learning tasks to be completed by the learner, promoting a greater degree of self-efficacy. These are designed to develop the learners skills and confidence, whilst assisting them in achieving their goals.
These tasks are complimented by individual coaching videos. These short videos are often sent between the sessions as a means to maintain motivation, explain tasks and act as a point of referral for the learner. Additionally, they can offer a timely reminder of the support available during an often challenging period.
