What is Threshold Residency?
Most young adults lack the real skills that help them thrive after school: Budgeting, interviewing, confidence, building your network, managing mental health. Knowing where you're headed — or how to get started.
What You’ll Do
- Build a powerful foundation in finance, health, communication, and decision-making — real-life skills no one teaches in school
- Get clear on your goals and make a step-by-step plan you’ll actually follow
- Detox from your phone, reset your focus, and develop new daily routines that boost confidence
- Earn certifications in Mental Health First Aid, budgeting, and digital skills that employers care about
- Create a digital portfolio — including your CV, personal pitch video, and a custom website
- Join a hiking expedition and learn how to lead under pressure
- Work with mentors from industries you’re curious about
- Present a micro-capstone project at a live showcase (and walk away proud of it)
- Reflect deeply, grow fast, and support others doing the same — this isn’t school, it’s a reset
Everything is hands-on, face-to-face, and built for life beyond the programme.

About the Founder
Threshold Residency was created by a team of educators, facilitators, and technologists who’ve worked with young people for over a decade.
The public face of the project is Miles Everen — an experienced educator and communicator with a background in software, startups, and youth development. He’s seen what happens when young people drift without direction — and how fast they can grow when given the right structure and support.
This pilot is the first step toward building the kind of launchpad we wish we’d had at that age.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I change my mind?
Your £250 deposit is fully refundable until your place is confirmed, and you can claim a 100% refund anytime during Week 1 if the course isn’t right for you.
Is this a gap‑year course?
Sort of — just shorter and laser‑focused on launching you fast. Many participants plan to start apprenticeships or uni immediately afterward.
Is this therapy?
No. We provide coaching and outdoor challenges, but not clinical therapy. Participants should be in a stable place mentally to benefit fully.
Why start on a Sunday?
Arriving the day before classes lets you settle in, meet the cohort over dinner, and hit the ground running Monday morning. Accommodation and meals from Sunday evening are included in the fee.
