First Step Trust
First Step Trust (FST) is an award-winning charity with over 30 years’ experience in providing work experience, on the job training and salaried employment for people excluded from working life because of mental health problems and other disadvantages e.g. Dyslexia, ADHD or a fear of learning.
Many of the people we work with are long term unemployed and some have never worked. FST is developing new ways to help this group overcome some of the barriers to learning using a range of technologies and other learning tools.
Our current courses, which are available exclusively to Greenwich Borough residents over the age of 18, include:
- Mechanics Intro – Virtual Reality: Hands-on training through our Virtual Garage® program, providing the basics of mechanics and gaining an IMI certification.
- Driving Ambition®: Support for passing the driving theory test, with a free theory test and provisional license application for those who complete the course.
- Food Hygiene Levels 2 and 3: A recognised, free industry qualification for those pursuing careers in hospitality or the food sector.
- Work Placements: Ongoing opportunities in mechanics, finance, and personal development, including IMI certification, CV building, job search assistance, and interview preparation.
