Step On
- This is a pre-employability programme for 16-19 year olds
- The course runs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, 10.00am-3.00pm, and is for young people not currently in employment or education
- This course is a partnership with Raith Rovers Community Foundation, so for the first eight weeks, participants have the opportunity to take part in different sporting activities in the afternoon. They also have the option to complete coaching badges and volunteer with Raith Rovers
- This course looks at wellbeing and how physical activity can be helpful in looking after mental health. It will also cover pre-employability skills, and participants will complete the SCQF Level 4 Employability Award, work on developing their skills, adn receive help with CV, applications etc.
- Like Moving On Up (above), the course runs in three month blocks and the next intake will be January 2024
- This is most suitable for those who may be a bit closer to going into employment or other training
- Participants don't need to be sporty to take part but it would be useful for those who like football and other sports too

Both courses run for 12 weeks in a group setting, based at LinkLiving's premises in West Bridge Mill, Kirkcaldy.
Lunch and refreshments are provided throughout. After this period, the young person can be further supported through 1-2-1 sessions where required.
