My Life is My Business
‘My Life is My Business’ is a unique programme being run in partnership with Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council. Alongside Youth at Risk’s personal development training young people will explore the concepts of ‘entrepreneurship’ and how these relate to the way they do and could live their lives. This element of the programme will be provided through Darwen Aldridge Community Academy, which has an entrepreneurship specialism, having been set up by Rod Aldridge, founder and former Chairman of out-sourcing company Capita and whose Foundation is funding the programme.
The project will focus on the young people setting and working towards life goals in the areas of education & training, designing their futures, improving relationships and developing a healthy lifestyle. They will be supported in finding work experience and in making full use of the educational and training services available to them to gain the skills required to get a worthwhile job.
