James Scroggs MBE

founder & ceo

 

I wear MANY hats.

MY STORY IS ABOUT YOUTH CULTURE.

MY PATHWAY IS ENTRENEURSHIP.

At the dawn of the social web in 2003, I was marketing director of global youth brand, MTV. Pandora's box opened.

Whilst I have since ventured in technology, music and fashion, I have also committed 20 years to youth services, mental health and suicide prevention.

 

Today, the lack of learning provision for life skills and work experience continues to create a silent scream - a generation who do not have the self-knowledge to thrive.

 

It is time to act.

the
parallel
pathway

Data consistently states young people are failing to launch and fearful of their future. NWC is designed to give young people a safe space to explore a parallel mindset to the golden pathway of academic study,  in which there is no right or wrong, no fear of failure, just curiosity, experience and connections - to build self-worth, confidence, agency and a sense of belonging in new relationships.

continual 360ª growth

Learn, work, belong is our promise to participants in NWC.  

 

We will cultivate confidence and skills, offer real-world practical experience, and foster a sense of purpose-led community, to better prepare them to thrive in the ever-evolving job market, their career, and life around it.

 

In many respects, as a foundational course, NWC short circuits the privileged tradition of a ‘Gap Year’, in which education leavers ‘find themselves’, grow in worldliness, experience work for the first time, and build the capabilities, credentials and impetus for ongoing progression, either in their studies or fledgling careers. 

Once oriented, our learner-workers can follow our flexible learning pathway to match their career aspirations as they progress in life and work.

Our methodology places participants into a continual cycle of personal growth and professional progression - from education, into employment, through community, into the wider economy. 

 

We will help individuals to better understand, master and connect with their growing 360˚ identity as a learner, worker, citizen, and leader in society.

 

| Elevated learning

 

We offer a dynamic, immersive in-situ and blended experience, delivered through interactive and cooperative, applied learning modules.  Personalised learning pathways enable individuals to acquire the 360˚ of experience and skills they need to thrive in life and the workplace of today and tomorrow.

 

| Integrated working

 

Learning goes hand-in-hand with real-world work experience.  Participants have the opportunity to apply their learning within study and work environments - exploring front, middle and back office roles.  They will collaborate on study or business projects, and gain hands-on experience, under the guidance of practitioners and professionals, such that their learning progression is directly applicable to the demands of the job market.

 

| ACTIVE Belonging

 

We will catalyse a supportive, connected community in which individuals feel a deep sense of belonging, through peer-to-peer co-design, co-operation, and networking.  Active participation in mentoring programs, and inclusive events, means participants connect with like-minded individuals, build valuable relationships, and finds safety in a supportive network that nurtures their personal and professional growth.

 

| Career Navigation

 

We will provide adaptive triage, guidance and support for deeper 360 navigation, with coaching, access to industry insights, and assistance in identifying multiple pathways and opportunities.  Through a seamless transition from academic life into the workforce, we can build the credentials of Generation 360˚ as the leaders of tomorrow.

A manifesto for lifelong learning AS a Driver of social inclusion, mobility and cohesion for all

We are in an age of atrophy.

Young people are lost.

They face obstacles. Not opportunity.

Educators are stuck.

They face threats. Not progress.

Employers are frustrated.

They face apathy. Not agency.

 

Communities are broken.

They face dereliction. Not prosperity.

 

The cure lies within us.

To venture our self.

In learning.

In working.

In belonging.

 

This is the starting point of NWC:

The Lifelong Learning Pathway.

Life learning

hand-in-hand with study and work

within vacant high street premises.

 

Aligning the needs

of people, business, and community.

We will inspire and empower

generations to grow.

We are New Working Class.
