ABOUT THE RURAL & URBAN TRAINING SCHEME
RUTS has been an inclusive, innovative service for young people in the east of Scotland since its founding in the early 1980s.
We are responsive to the needs of young people in our communities. We strive to help young people overcome barriers, enhance skills, gain qualifications and achieve their potential.
RUTS do this through using themes of motorbikes, bicycles and general fitness to offer accredited vocational training, as well as bespoke employability and sector-specific courses. RUTS offers tailored personal development, recognising each young person’s individual needs, skills, strengths, ambitions and personalities.
We use mobile equipment to deliver our services across schools and a range of partner agencies. This collaboration continues to build positive relationships within the community and ensures we can reach, motivate and support the young people who will benefit most from engagement with RUTS.
Our values and the way we behave are critical to the continued growth and success of RUTS. We want to make a positive I.M.P.A.C.T on our staff and young people to learn new skills, develop their potential and achieve their goals.
We will achieve this by:
I.M.P.A.C.T
Identifying the needs of the INDIVIDUAL
To MOTIVATE them
To release their POTENTIAL
To take them on an ADVENTURE
To be CURIOUS and open to learning
To provide TRAINING to all
TRAINING EXPECTATIONS
We encourage and support all our young people to develop high aspirations for the future, in line with our values and mission statement. On a daily basis this is underpinned by our training expectations for every member of our learning community.
