The Cracked It Phone Repair Bootcamp is a fast-paced 5-day course in iPhone repair and enterprise.
Our Bootcamp is designed for groups of 16-24 year olds who are: not in education or employment; at risk of offending; or ex-offenders.
Our programmes support young people towards employment by:
-
Combating attitudinal barriers to work: we support youth to (re)engage with the formal economy by demonstrating that work can be a credible outlet for their aspirations and needs.
-
Combating skills-based barriers to work: we support youth to become work-ready by developing employability their skills in a real-world context.
