# New Meaning Training > New Meaning Training is a UK social enterprise providing alternative, vocational education for young people (mainly post-16 and NEET) who have not thrived in mainstream school settings. It runs training centres across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Warwickshire and the West Midlands, offering hands-on vocational courses alongside pastoral and SEMH (social, emotional and mental health) support to help learners re-engage with education and build a pathway toward work or further study. New Meaning Training works holistically with young people to understand their individual barriers to learning, rather than assuming disengagement reflects a lack of ability or interest. Courses combine practical vocational skills with English, Maths and life-skills support. The organisation is a certified Social Enterprise (Company Number 16673910) and has been operating for over 10 years. ## Courses - [Our Courses (overview)](https://newmeaning.training/our-courses/) - [Hair & Beauty](https://newmeaning.training/course/beauty/) - [Motor Mechanics](https://newmeaning.training/course/motor-mechanics/) - [Creative Art & Design](https://newmeaning.training/course/creative-art-design/) - [Sports](https://newmeaning.training/course/sports/) - [Construction Multiskills](https://newmeaning.training/course/construction-multiskills/) - [Computing](https://newmeaning.training/course/computing/) - [Community Care](https://newmeaning.training/course/community-care/) - [Catering](https://newmeaning.training/course/catering/) - [Retail & Hospitality](https://newmeaning.training/course/retail-hospitality/) - [Boost Workskills](https://newmeaning.training/course/boost-workskills/) - [Achieve Lifeskills](https://newmeaning.training/course/achieve-lifeskills/) - [Transition Support](https://newmeaning.training/course/transition-support/) ## Locations - [Locations (overview)](https://newmeaning.training/locations/) - [Warwickshire](https://newmeaning.training/locations/warwickshire/) - [Bucks & Herts](https://newmeaning.training/locations/bucks-herts/) - [Berkshire](https://newmeaning.training/locations/berkshire/) ## About - [About Us](https://newmeaning.training/about-us/) - [Board](https://newmeaning.training/about-us/board/) - [Leadership Team](https://newmeaning.training/about-us/leadership-team/) - [SEMH Specialist](https://newmeaning.training/about-us/semh-specialist/) - [Prospectus](https://newmeaning.training/about-us/prospectus/) - [Learner Case Studies](https://newmeaning.training/about-us/learner-case-studies/) - [Careers](https://newmeaning.training/careers/) - [Policies](https://newmeaning.training/about-us/policies/) - [News and Updates](https://newmeaning.training/news-and-updates/) ## For prospective learners and parents - [Apply](https://newmeaning.training/apply/) - [Guidance on Approaching 16 (for young people and parents)](https://newmeaning.training/guidance-for-young-people-and-parents-post-16/) - [Contact Us](https://newmeaning.training/contact-us/) ## Optional - [Privacy Policy](https://newmeaning.training/privacy-policy/) - [Cookie Policy](https://newmeaning.training/privacy-policy-cookies/)
