🧩 Bespoke sessions

We also offer bespoke sessions for every school. Tell us about your students and we will tailor a workshop to suit their needs. Every booking includes a scoping call.

The scoping call is a short conversation with your careers lead or pastoral team before we finalise anything. We ask about your cohort, what you want students to leave with, and any SEN or SEND needs we should design around, then build the session content and pick topics from the list below to match.

Topics we can cover:

01CV building
02Cover letters
03Interview practice
04SMART goal setting
05Job search & applications
06Personal branding

✅ What schools see

Careers leads and pastoral staff consistently tell us the same three things change after a Talentix workshop: students who usually disengage from careers content start participating, every student leaves with something concrete to show for the session, and staff notice a difference in confidence that carries beyond the workshop itself.

🙋 More engaged learners

Students who normally opt out of careers content stay in the room, ask questions, and contribute.

📝 Tangible outputs

Each student leaves with something written down, like a draft CV, a goal, or a practised answer.

💪 Higher confidence

Staff report a measurable improvement in students willingness to apply and speak up.

💛 Our SEN School Workshop Impact

Off-the-shelf careers content rarely fits SEN and SEND cohorts, so we redesign every session from the ground up — plain-English language, visual prompts, and small-group activities matched to how your students learn.

DBS & SEN-trained

  • Small-group activities so quieter students can contribute
  • Youth-led facilitation removes the teacher/student power dynamic
  • Take-home outputs so progress does not end at the door

🙌 Our Youth-Led Approach

Our workshops are run by young people, not long out of school themselves. Being peer-led changes how the room feels — students drop their guard, ask the questions they actually have, and look up to a role model close to their own age.

  • A relatable role model students can aspire to
  • Closeness in age means the message resonates and sticks
  • The teacher/student power dynamic disappears, so quieter students speak up
  • Sessions stay current and real, not a lecture from the front

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a workshop cost?

Pricing is bespoke and depends on three things: the size of your cohort, the length of the session, and which workshop format you choose (Future Ready Teens, Teens & Jobs, or a bespoke session built around your students). Email us those three details, or download our workshop proposal below, and we will come back with options and a written quote. If it's the first time we've worked with your school, you'll also get 15% off.

How long is a workshop session?

Session length is flexible and agreed during your scoping call so it fits your school timetable. Tell us how much time you have and we will build the content to match, rather than asking you to fit around a fixed format.

Do you cover SEN and SEND?

Yes. Every facilitator is DBS-checked and SEN-trained, and our sessions are fully adapted for SEN and SEND cohorts in both mainstream schools and specialist settings — plain-English language with visual prompts on every slide, and small-group activities so quieter students can contribute.

How do we book a workshop?

Email enquiries@talentix.co.uk with your cohort size, preferred session length, and workshop type, or download our workshop proposal using the link below. Every booking includes a short scoping call so we understand your students before we finalise the session and send a tailored quote.

What year groups do you work with?

Our workshops are designed for secondary students in Years 10 to 13, and we regularly deliver in sixth forms too. Content, pace, and language are adjusted to suit the age and stage of your specific cohort.

Do you provide materials afterward?

Yes. Students leave each session with a tangible output, such as a draft CV, a cover letter, a set of SMART goals, or a completed job-search toolkit, so the learning doesn't stop when the session ends.

What's the difference between Future Ready Teens and Teens & Jobs?

Future Ready Teens focuses on confidence, communication, personal branding, and goal-setting. Teens & Jobs is more hands-on and application-focused: CVs, cover letters, job applications, and mock interview practice. Many schools book both across different year groups or as part of a bespoke session that blends the two.
