Training & Education
Training and Education is a key delivery area for both YMCA North Tyneside and YMCA nationally.
Did you know we offer educational programmes?
Our ‘Taste for Change’ and ‘Get up and Grow’ programmes both provide pre-employability activities and routes to employment for people of all ages looking to enhance their employment opportunities.
Looking for help with employment?
We are partnering with other local organisations to deliver an exciting FREE programme called Steps to Employment to help residents of North Tyneside over the age of 29 to get a job and to learn new skills to improve the quality of their lives.

Nate’s Story
This quickly became a daunting situation for Nate as he had very little experience living independently and had recently left school with no qualifications or prior work experience. YMCA staff provided Nate with one to one sessions, developing the skills he already possessed and helping with his confidence levels. Nate worked alongside a specialist worker on improving his CV and partook in mock interviews. As a result, Nate was offered a position this year with the company ‘Justice Prince’ and has told staff: “I’m really enjoying working and making my own money, I feel like I have a purpose.”
