Empower your students with our Student Union, Student Council, or Student Governor training!

As the school term comes to an end it’s the perfect time to start planning for the new year, what better way to start 2022 than by empowering your school or college students with one of our comprehensive Unloc training courses or bespoke training days.

We offer engaging and effective training in Student Council, Student Unions, and how to be an effective and impactful Student Governor to all ages from Primary, to Preparatory, Secondary, and through to Further Education.

These roles play an import part in the lives of young people through their education journey, but so few young people are prepared or trained on how to handle this responsibility, or how to use it effectively.

Our training courses and day events are the perfect way to introduce these concepts, roles and responsibilities to the young people at your school or college.

Best of all we can tailor this to your needs, providing a full training course, or an engaging one-off day event. With up to 100 students covered at a time we can provide training for large groups as well as smaller ones.

Our renowned interactive training up-skills, empowers, and helps prepare students to effectively fulfil their roles as student leaders and representatives of the school or college body.

The training will be tailored to the needs of your student group, providing you with a bespoke course or day that fulfils the needs of your young people.

How do we start?

We organise a digital needs analysis with you or your colleagues beforehand to identify the focus for the training programme. This allows you to have input and ensures we meet the needs of each school, college, teacher or tutor.

What does the training consist of?

The training is usually made up of 4 interactive skills based workshops, incorporating Student Voice best practice. Each workshop lasts approximately 1hr 30 mins. You, and your colleagues can select the 4 workshops of focus based on our needs analysis beforehand.

Our workshop topics include:

  • Effective project planning
  • Collecting & representing opinion
  • Confidence & public speaking
  • Designing effective campaigns
  • Stakeholder management
  • Communication & working as a team
  • Reporting back

Our workshops and day events are carried out in a fun, engaging and energy fuelled way to get young people excited and invested in their roles and the topics we cover. But don’t just take our word for it, here’s a comment from Wendy Stanger from East Coast College:

Excellent interactive and friendly training that motivated students to become leaders and make a difference to their college community. Would highly recommend!”
