Equipping our young people to succeed
Educational Achievement – Wellbeing – Confidence – Positive Relationships – Employability – Enterprise Capability
We understand that the time commitment necessary for most schools to run a full equipped2succeed programme is unrealistic due to everything else a school timetable includes. With that in mind, we've developed an offering specifically for schools, education providers or any other organisation working with secondary school age young people.
We've taken what we consider to be the most relevant and beneficial aspects of the equipped2succeed programme for young people of this age, and condensed them into the 5 workshops below. Simply select which is most relevant for your class / cohort / year group, or if you'd like a combination of the below please get in touch to discuss how this might work.
‘I have seen the incredible, positive impact of equipped2succeed - enabling students to develop their capabilities to thrive and achieve their potential within education and beyond’.

Nicky Quinton - equipped2succeed Education Associate
Nicky is a former secondary school teacher and senior leader, with 22years experience. She is passionate about equitable opportunities in education and beyond. Nicky’s extensive experience in pastoral leadership drives her continued passion to ensure that all young people experience a holistic, skills-based curriculum: one that provides them with meaningful, life-long skills that support them as they navigate life, during and beyond formal education.
Nicky is equally passionate about supporting the wellbeing and personal development of the staff who work in education. She believes that all those who invest their time and energy into the development and care of others are deserving of the same.
‘Education goes beyond the classroom. A meaningful and effective education provides robust foundation stones for life.’
Nicky has seen, at first hand, the transformative impact that equipped2succeed can have on young people.
“All too often in schools we buy in programmes with a view to enrich our pupils’ learning experiences and broaden their learning curriculum but the impact of them is short lived.
Over the years I have seen many projects and events being enjoyed, on the day, spoken about for a few weeks but forgotten before the end of the year.
What makes equipped2succeed so different is the organic personal growth journey that students travel on. The learning path is a guided one, it is done “with them, not to them. Ultimately the learning sticks because the students have driven their own reflection and self-development. The equipped2suceed team simply made clear the path.’
