What do we do?
Our vision is to make volunteering, social action, entrepreneurship and other positive activities, which lead to increased well-being, aspirations, skills and experience, available to all young people regardless of their ability, status or background.

What have we found out so far?
The barriers for young people finding employment appear to fit into two categories.
- Emotional/personal barriers, such as lack of confidence and self esteem. This is not helped by the current provision of a more generic approach to supporting young people to find employment
- Practical barriers, such as lack of suitable clothes for interview or a shortage of money for transport. It also expands to an overall lack of experience (of general life skills as well as work placed experience).

Identified solutions…
The need for a more intensive personalised “youth focussed” approach. A joint approach to communication and referral processes .
Address employers barriers – “educating” employers/changing recruitment practices.
Address employment market barriers - encouraging work tasters, volunteering etc.
Address society barriers - engage wider community, bring different groups together
Self employment – provide support and encouragement and identify opportunities.
