The Platform Project // Episode 15

In this episode of the TWC Home Improvements Podcast, Andy and Joe are joined by Sadie Sharp, founder and CEO of the Platform Project CIC - a brilliant local CIC that TWC are proud to officially partner with through the launch of our brand new Buddy Up Programme.This one is close to our hearts as we sit down with Sadie to hear all about the Platform Project, what it does, why it matters, and what our new partnership really means - not just for TWC, but for the young people whose futures we're hoping to help shape. We talk about:⚪️ The official launch of the TWC Buddy Up Programme with the Platform Project CIC and what it means  🔴 How the Platform Project supports young people with practical experience, mentoring and a genuinely supportive environment ⚪️ Why T-levels and apprenticeships aren't for everyone and why that's okay 🔴 The silent barriers young people face, and how simply watching someone do a job can build the confidence to believe "I could do that" ⚪️ How a supportive environment at the Platform Project feeds naturally into an equally supportive environment here at TWC 🔴 The wide range of roles TWC young people can shadow - from marketing & sales to CAD design, surveying and installations ⚪️ The art exhibition at our showroom on the 21st & 22nd March - come on down, it's free!🔴 Why taking pride in a job, creating something good and seeing it through builds life skills, resilience and tenacity ⚪️ Entry-level opportunities at TWC and how our buddy system opens those doors 🔴 Building confidence across the team and why being genuinely interested in something is where it all starts Want to get involved or find out more about the Platform Project CIC?
