SSE

Primary school resources
Secondary school resources
Work experience
The integration of the universal framework into our primary and secondary school resources has enhanced the value of these session plans by clearly aligning the skills with curriculum frameworks used by educators. Furthermore, incorporating the framework into our structured work experience programme has enabled both the beneficiaries and the organisation to effectively measure the impact of the programme.
