Our goal is to help people to realise their career aspirations. Steps to Work was only available to those aged 18-25, but we have recognised the need to increase the portfolio of programmes, which are now open to those of all ages who may have learning difficulties, who are neurodivergent or may have other barriers to employment.

Alongside our foundational Steps to Work programme, the Steps at Strawberry Field programmes includes ‘Steps to Work lite’, a more condensed versions of the original Steps to Work and 'Steps for Students' aimed at connecting students with employers.
