ACTION
The Skill Mill is a not-for-profit social enterprise that provides employment for young ex-offenders aged 16 to 18 in environmental maintenance work.
It aims to bring social and environmental benefits to local communities by helping to reduce flood risks and improve the local environment at the same time as helping young people gain skills and experience in the delivery of services.
Young employees acquire knowledge and skills by working alongside local private contractors and partners, while undertaking accredited training to achieve a nationally recognised qualification. Follow-on employment opportunities with partner organisations and the wider labour market are sought for each young person taking part.
