John Thornton said: “Every young person deserves the opportunity to succeed, but we know that traditional classroom environments do not work for everyone.
“At Building Futures Together, we use practical, hands-on learning and trusted relationships to help young people rebuild confidence, develop skills, and discover a positive future.
“Our open evening is an opportunity for schools, families, professionals, and young people to see first-hand how an alternative approach to education can transform lives. We look forward to welcoming visitors to our training centre and sharing how, by working together, we can help more young people achieve their potential.
Mr Thornton added that high staff-to-learner ratios, structured practical curriculum and pastoral support help students to re-engage with learning, improve attendance, and work towards meaningful Post-16 pathways.
