LOCAL CENTRES
Welcome to JHP Kendal
Due to the demand of learners in the South Cumbria area, JHP Training have opened a new Business Centre in Kendal to support our existing site in Barrow-in-Furness which has achievement rates well above the national average, along with a high level of customer satisfaction. JHP Kendal opened its doors to learners on the 1st March 2007 and will follow in the footsteps of all of our Business Centres by delivering high quality training to the local community.
Situated in the South of the Lake District, Kendal is full of history and is a popular destination with tourists. Based in the centre of the town just opposite the library, JHP Kendal will deliver a wide range of Apprenticeships and Entry to Employment (e2e) courses which are a great start to a young person's career, raising the skills base and investing in local businesses and the community for now and for the future.
What's New In JHP Kendal
Fulfilling the Dream
Shaun joined JHP Kendal’s e2e programme with a low expectation of ever achieving anything. Having moved from school to school and failing his GCSEs in English and Maths, Shaun’s Literacy and Numeracy needed assistance. This resulted in him being turned down by the local college to study Construction and his self esteem and confidence were extremely low. Shaun had been in trouble with the police on several occasions and didn’t think he could turn his life around.
After joining JHP Kendal, Shaun found talking in a group discussion very uncomfortable and was reluctant to take part in any team building activities. Through praise and recognition of small efforts Shaun’s confidence and self esteem began to lift and he began working one to one with the basic skills tutor on his Literacy and Numeracy needs.
By the time Shaun had been on programme for twelve weeks he had achieved his Level 2 in Adult Literacy and had completed the British Heart Foundation’s Heartstart program which gave him basic life support skills in an emergency.
In December Shaun re-applied to Kendal College to do a foundation course in Construction, which was his dream vocation, and one he had felt at the start was just that, a dream. His application was accepted and Shaun has now completed the course along with a basic IT qualification. Shaun is continuing his education at college in Construction and all at JHP Kendal are very proud of his achievements and determination to turn his life around.
Coping in an Emergency
A group of e2e learners in Kendal recently took part in the British Heart Foundation’s Heartstart programme which give learners the skills of emergency life support (ELS). The training enables the learner to perform a set of actions needed to keep someone alive until professional help arrives; these include performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), dealing with choking, serious bleeding and helping someone that may be having a heart attack. This training can be used in places of work or at home and can save lives. Each of the learners received a certificate to confirm they had successfully taken part in the training.
Pictured top are the learners with their certificates and the trainers who presented them.
