Training with other organisations
Stride also works with people outside of education, offering bespoke training on a wide range of issues. These organisations have included The Early Learning Alliance, Youth Service, parents and the Connexions Service. As with all bespoke training the aim is to have a practical relevance to the organisation and to increase confidence in delivery of service.
Examples of this work includes:Working with Connexions
