At Kent Equine Facilitated Learning CIC, we are passionate about creating opportunities for young people to develop confidence, practical skills and a greater sense of purpose through meaningful experiences with horses and within our working yard environment.
We are keen to welcome young people who would benefit from work experience and to explore how time on the yard could support their individual goals, whether that is building confidence, developing communication and teamwork skills, gaining an understanding of working with animals, or taking positive steps towards education, training or employment.
We have already seen the positive impact that time at our yard can have for young people who may have struggled to find suitable work experience opportunities elsewhere. We understand that some young people need a more supportive and flexible environment in which to develop their skills, build confidence and discover what they are capable of.
We are currently working towards expanding our work experience programme and are awaiting funding to enable us to develop this opportunity further. The funding will allow us to put the appropriate staffing, structure and support in place so that we can offer meaningful and well-supported work experience placements.
In the meantime, we are keen to hear from schools, colleges, families and organisations who are interested in working with us and exploring potential opportunities for young people in the future.
If you would like to discuss a potential work experience placement or would like to register your interest, please get in touch. We would be very happy to hear from you and explore what may be possible.
Our aim is to create a safe, supportive and purposeful environment where young people can gain practical experience, develop life and employability skills, and take their next steps with greater confidence.
