Poached Creative, a company specializing in writing and design for charities and the social sector, is running its six week training program at Workshop 44. The first session, ‘Introduction to communications’ started with a presentation showing how communication works, the barriers, the different forms of communication and how to identify your audience.
By taking part in the training you will receive a mix of work experience and a structured training program individually tailored to your needs, which are broken up into core units where you will learn about interviewing, writing essentials, writing for the web and social media and introductions to editing. After training you get to put what you’ve learned into action where you would be writing a blog entry for In My Shoes so you’re working on real projects.
Over the following weeks trainees have had the opportunity to take part in other modules such as feature writing, reviewing and opinion writing and even writing for the web. The training not only gives you new skills but improves existing ones too. 100% of the trainees gain skills and confidence as a result of working with Poached and 90% go on to paid work, internships or further training. At Poached Creative part of the creative team are formed of people who are unemployed gaining skills, experience and confidence through training.
