- The Thing Tank
-
A mobile application and online platform, ‘The Thing Tank’ will help young people not in employment, education or training to easily record, collate and present ‘things’ they’ve done to create a narrative of relevant experience. The process is supported by a youth worker (and in many cases by peers) and experiences will contribute to agreed challenges which can form part of an accredited youth qualification. All ‘things’ or experiences will also be automatically synced into an online multi-media CV template. ‘Things’ can be recorded in a variety of ways (by photo, video, text, audio) and can even submitted by others. Young people also gain important social media and multi-media skills while sharing and learning with their peer group. This will all result in increased employability and chances of access to further education.
