Common questions
DO I NEED A DEGREE TO APPLY?
We understand that not everyone has had the same access to education. Generation courses don’t judge applicants on their educational or working background. Instead, we’ll make our selections based on motivation and transferable skills, such as problem solving. If you have those — we can teach the rest!
OUR SUPPORT
During the course, you will be guided by a full-time experienced instructor, and receive additional support through 1-1 mentorship sessions with a qualified mentor. Additionally, you will be surrounded by a class of 20-25 peers (currently online, via zoom) who want to see you succeed — and who will later become your professional network. We will work with you to make sure that the course pace, content, future planning, and working environment is suitable for you — and help you with additional challenges, such as managing your finances and building your confidence for interviews.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
We work closely with Jobcenters to make sure that Universal Credit or other benefits you were previously receiving will continue for the full course duration. We can also provide laptops and other equipment for free when needed to complete the course. Please get in touch if you have any concerns about applying to our courses, and we will try our best to meet your needs: scotlandteam@generation.org
