This practical programme has been uniquely designed to give young people real, hands on practical experience in a range of different careers and business projects through our in-house youth-enterprises to provide access to real work experiences in a supported, developmental environment.
We partner with local businesses and professionals so young people can learn from the experts and see how they started their careers and businesses, and the programme ends with a reverse careers fair where employers come to meet the participants to see how they can help in their next steps.
The programme consists of 2-hour sessions once a week for 12 weeks and lets you choose whether you want to boost your CV employability experiences, OR develop your own youth led business start-up.
You could get experience in: Publishing and podcasting, creative crafts, digital design, photography, videography, printed goods sales, online marketing, sales and customer services, and much more...
