The Learning, Work and Wellbeing Toolkit: Positive Career Choices for Young Adult Carers
Learning and Work Institute
The Learning, Work and Wellbeing Toolkit provides staff at carers services with information and resources to help young adult carers explore their options in learning and work, make informed choices about education, training and employment opportunities, and clarify and achieve their career ambitions. Developed in partnership with carers services and their young adult carers, the toolkit includes tips and practical resources that carers services can use with young adult carers, either on a one-to-one basis or in groups, to help them think about, get into and keep education, training and employment opportunities. It also includes materials focussed on the professional development of staff and service improvement. The Learning, Work and Wellbeing pack does not expect carers services to replace other organisations which have trained and professional staff employed to provide careers advice. Instead, the pack focusses on how carers can prepare, refer and support young adult carers to get the most out of those specialist services. Although the pack has been developed for working with young adult carers, much of the information and activities can be adapted for supporting adult carers who may wish to seek out leisure, volunteering or work opportunities.
