How does it work?
The programme has been implemented with success in a variety of settings and has been particularly effective in:
- helping long-term unemployed people develop the motivation and self-belief to complete other training and find jobs.
- equipping parents with better parenting skills.
- enabling those being made redundant to develop a new future for themselves.
- reducing reoffending and aiding reintegration with employment as part of offender learning initiatives.
- helping employees gain the confidence to deal with change, improve their working relationships with colleagues and take more accountability for the impact of their own behaviour on the working culture of the organisation.
- improving relationships between teachers and parents and fostering increased parental involvement in school life.
- strengthening grassroots change initiatives in community regeneration projects along with a renewed sense of possibility and community; enhancing participation in and ownership of local initiatives.
The STEPS® concepts provide a common language for articulating a vision of a better future and offers a proven approach to making the vision a reality.
