ORGANISATION DESCRIPTION
Momentum World is a not for profit international education and training provider based in the UK. Our mission is to enhance the career prospects of young people. We are now working within 4 strategic themes reflecting both our knowledge and expertise as an organisation, and the types of partnerships we have developed over the last 10 years. All our projects now support one or more of these themes:
- Reducing social isolation
- Employability
- Intercultural learning and heritage
- Digital media
We have a strong track record in all these areas, working across formal and non-formal education. Our courses encourage young people to develop internationally transferable/transversal skills for employability. We emphasise progressive personal development through long term engagement with young people. For this reason, partnership with other organisations is important to us. We work with schools as well as non-formal youth groups.
You will have the opportunity to develop your skills, grow as a person, learn independence, live the British culture and make an impact in the local and wider community.
