Peak Potential

Overview

Peak Potential was re-launched in July 2011 to offer young people from our recent Graduate and Excel programmes an opportunity to take the next step on their Snow-Camp journey.

The programme, funded by the Big Lottery, consists of 3 accredited work placements, organised and supported by Snow-Camp, in co-operation with local youth service providers and companies from the ski & snowboard industry. It offers young people a chance to develop their skills in the workplace and gain further insight into the possibilities of a career in these areas.

In addition to the many benefits of gaining further skills and experience in these areas of work, the young people will also receive: 

• one to one support throughout their placements
• accreditation through AQA
• financial support to cover travel costs and expenses
• support in securing more permanent positions within the youth sector or ski industry
• Snow-Camp certification of achievement and references

Launch

The Peak Potential launch day will be held on 9^th July where the young people will be presented with a portfolio of placements which they can apply for. We aim to offer a diverse range of placements to meet the young people’s interests. We can only provide these very beneficial opportunities with the support and cooperation of our partners within the youth sector and the ski & snowboard industry.

Interested in offering a work placement?

If you are interested in supporting one or more of our young people by offering a short work placement in your company or organisation, we would love to hear from you. Whether it is in a youth & community group, an office, a shop, a ski centre or at this years Metro Ski & Snowboard Show, all opportunities will be welcomed!
