Peer-to-Peer Work Readiness training and mentorship by Year 10 students ( - or teachers - ) of Years 8 & 9 to ease their transition from School to the world of Work:  Young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, already face significant challenges when they leave full-time education. Post-pandemic, the jobs market for young people has become even harder to navigate, particularly for those not naturally destined for university. Our tailored employability training programme addresses this challenge head on: our highly-trained facilitators support students to gain the skills, confidence and tools that they need to become employable. But any qualified teacher can deliver the course themselves, or train up Year 10s or Senior students, to deliver our training using our carefully prepared slides, videos and other resource materials. The training enables them to understand what employers look for in prospective employees and to do simple things to enhance their CVs. It empowers them to take responsibility for building up their skills and readiness for the job market before leaving school. Each student gets a Certificate and a copy of the Training’s Personal Summary Notes on completion.

What is the UN? Where did it come from? How does it work? Why is it important? Peace Child Intl. has worked with, and for, the United Nations since its formation, winning the UN Peace Messenger prize in 1986, and being afforded Consultative Status in 1997. Its 1995 book, the Children’s History of the Past, Present and Future of the UN celebrated the UN’s 50^th Anniversary; its 2020 online Concert the UN’s 75^th and its new UN Centenary Peace Child musical looks forward to what the UN will have done by 2045. Each learning resource explains how the UN works, how it has developed over the years and how its procedures cry out for improvement. Peace Child has long wanted to make a youth-created TV Series on the History of Global Collaboration – showing where the idea of the UN came from, and where it needs to go in the future. We link to other resources which outline the UN’s central agenda which is to deliver sustainable development and address the 3 x key threats to the survival of Life on Earth: Climate Change, Biodiversity Loss and Pollution, to which PCI adds a 4^th: Nuclear War.
