PROGRAMME CONTENT
1. Assessment of development need (2 - 3 weeks)
This is key step in identifying the requirements for each individual and develop an overall strategy for the group. While a number of tools can be utilised for this stage of the programme, our experience has shown that an in-depth one to one structured session delivered the best outcome. ASL Global will complete a diagnostic interview with each participant. This diagnostic interview is an in-depth conversation with them to establish a baseline for our activities. It is expected to last 4 hours per participant.
2. Development Programme (6 months)
Based on the assessment of each participant a detailed plan is developed with a combination of group workshops and individual activities. Our coaches work closely with each individual during this period.
