About the Making Tracks at the Old School project

What is Making Tracks at the Old School?

Making Tracks at the Old School, Old Wolverton, will provide help and support to autistic adults in their journeys towards paid employment.

We are offering the opportunity to experience the world of work in its various forms, as well as providing skills development in areas such as constructing CVs and writing application forms.

Who is it for?

You, if you are an autistic adult who:

• is enthusiastic about working in a supportive environment

• would like to have an experience in a workplace

• is looking to gain experiences which might help you to move on to successfully seeking paid employment.

• believe you have something to give in return to the Old School.

What will it involve?

• Everyone taking part will be supported throughout by our new Work Placement Coach, Rachel Sutton.

• Placements will be offered for up to 8 hours a week split into multiple sessions and lasting up to 10 weeks.

• Due to our unique set up, a range of work placement pathways will be possible, tailored to the interests and strengths of the individuals taking part.

Work Placement Pathways

There are six work placement pathways that we will be able to offer people. Each one will involve meeting people working in these areas and finding out what it is like to do these jobs, while being supported in these new experiences by Rachel.

The six pathways are:

1. Gardening and the natural environment

2. Hospitality and events

3. Woodwork, design and maintenance

4. Arts, film and photography

5. Try-it - first experience of work

6. Moving on - skills and assistance for entering employment
