The Resurgo Trust's Spear Programme was born from a desire to see young people reach their full potential and with a vision to tackle some of society’s biggest challenges through the means of employment and education, and it has grown from one centre in West London 20 years ago to 15 currently across the country.  
 
The high intensity, six-week ‘Classic Spear Programme’ involves training young people in the skills required to get a job and how to thrive once they are in a job including interview preparation and mock interviews with external panels, the preparation of CVs and cover letters, communication and presentation skills, career sessions and confidence and mindset.

Following the six-week training phase, the follow-on 12-month ‘Spear Career’ phase involves providing support to the trainees shaped in accordance with their individual needs, helping them transition into work or education and iron out any issues that may arise to ensure that they sustain and advance in their roles and gain independence. In delivering the Spear Programme, Resurgo works with over 30 corporate partners who provide financial support and staff volunteer engagement together with job opportunities for those who complete the Spear Programme.
