Live Theatre's Young Person Employability Programme coming to Darlington
This programme has a different feel to classroom-based programmes which will appeal to some, and while delivered by theatre colleagues in a theatre space, the programme will focus on core pre-employability skills such as confidence & self-esteem, along with applications, interviews and CVs. This is part of the NHS Universal Family Programme in the North East and North Cumbria supporting care leavers ages 16-25 into education, training and employment.

Wednesday 17th September 2025
Wednesday 24th September 2025
Wednesday 1st October 2025
