Training

WWM offers training for those developing and those managing work with boys, men and fathers. Our training is also relevant to those involved in policy development.

We offer a broad range of training courses. Recent training days and workshops have covered the following areas: targeting and engaging boys and young men; masculinity; what works with fathers; developing a sexual health strategy targeting young men; public health strategies; fathers’ involvement in Children’s Centres; boys’ underachievement; managing work and young men; self esteem; and meeting the educational needs of African Caribbean boys.

We have standard one-day and two-day courses which can be adapted, and we can develop a programme from scratch, depending on the needs and requirements of the agencies and professionals we work with.

Some comments from practitioners who have attended WWM Training:

“It was really helpful in giving a base-line and clarifying areas and it was good to have a day to reflect on focused work and strategy”
– attendee on Developing A Teenage Pregnancy Strategy workshop

“A highly interesting day - I like the fact it was a small group and open to discussion. Excellent structure to the course and good relevance to the work place”  
– attendee on the Targeting & Engaging Boys and Young Men course

“I really enjoyed the event. It provided useful insight and discussion and the tutor had an Excellent style.”
– attendee on the Recent Research on Boys & Young Men seminar

What next?

If you are interested, you will need to know that our daily rate for one trainer is at least £525.00, plus any travel and accommodation costs. Days usually run from 10am to 4pm. The courses can be for up to 16 participants (per trainer), so for a day long course, relatively near one of our trainers, will cost you about £30 per person (for a course of 16). This would be about a quarter of the cost to send people on a standard course organized by ourselves, so if you have a number of people, this is a much more economic option for you.
