It is a network for those that deliver vocational learning, including apprenticeships and opportunities to young people experiencing barriers to learning or for whom the traditional academic route of study is not suitable.
Early last year, I realised I needed to shift from a mode of working that was constantly reactive and develop capacity for greater reflection and thinking time.

The diversity of those on the programme was a welcome surprise. Several have a background in working with and on behalf of children and young people. There are 16 of us in the 2011 cohort, with varied backgrounds and experiences. The programme has allowed us to share these in a way that pushes us to embody the mantra "know yourself, be yourself".
