Well done to all our youth who completed inductions at their placements, although a lot of paper was involved they got stuck in without hesitation, gold stars all round 🌟🌟 @FirstStepsFT @VerdancyGroup

🌟Week 2🌟 We asked the groups what they thought about fixed/growth mindset. We were delighted with the honest responses and open conversations this led to.
