Who are we?

For the past twenty years UPSTARTS has been working with young people and adults to help them achieve their goals in a fun and interactive way.
The original concept of UPSTARTS stemmed from a young people's theatre school and a successful training company.  The concept of EMPOWERED training was developed which has resulted in various training courses and a series of personal development programmes that have been used in schools, colleges and business environments.
Many of the original UPSTARTS have gone on to work in the fields of education, recruitment and international business. Other members of the groups have used what they have learnt to influence their own children, achieve their own personal goals and contribute positively to their own communities.

When we describe a person as an UPSTART, it often is deemed to be negative. However we believe to be an UPSTART you must with integrity, empower yourself to empower others so they can to the same.

“Websters New World Dictionary” definition of  UPSTART is to start, or spring up.  Its definition of EMPOWERMENT  is to equip or supply someone with an ability or to positively enable  a person.

UPSTARTS and Empowered Training is a synergy of these concepts and quite simply encourages all its participants to be EMPOWERED, get UP and START to take action towards their goals, dreams and aspirations.
