The NeurodiverCity Training Academy
Series of hands-on training sessions for those interested in learning a skill, getting a job, making clothes, printing t-shirts / caps / mugs and or perhaps in starting a business. Plus, we offer unique coaching / mentoring for those who employ Care Leavers and current or future neurodiverse employees.
We are developing and selling an exciting range of clothing and accessories, including t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, etc. Designed by our wonderful care leaver and neurodiverse students, and also our patrons and guest artists. Printed and finished by partners and by students at Liverpool's Fashion Hub.
Dreaming about creating your own business? Together with the Women's Organisation and others we’ll teach you how to create your very own clothing, brand and more. Offering sewing machines, state of the art print machines, heat presses and training to help with setting up your very own online store.
The NeurodiverCity Training Academy is a unique collaboration of 8 delivery partners led by the ADHD Foundation & Cornerstones Foundation. However, we are keen to team up with businesses and organisations seeking to create key changes on how care leavers and neurodiverse young men & women learn new skills and get into employment.
Although, not a crisis centre or crisis resource we do support those aged 16 to 25 and are living within the Liverpool City Region – or are Liverpool children who the city may have placed outside of the borough prior to being 16 for safeguarding reasons. Our main referrers are Local Authority Virtual Schools or Care Leavers Team – or a project partner.
We support those aged 16 to 25 in the Liverpool area with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia and Tourette’s. We also support Care Leavers. We will teach you how to make and sell clothes, how to get a job and we will work with partners to help you get the right support. You will be referred to us by the Local Authority or a partner.
