Building Connections, an employability programme run by UK Youth, harnesses the skills of youth work to help more vulnerable and disadvantaged young people into the workplace.
The charity describes the programme, now in its third year, as an investment in youth work that aims to create “stronger pathways to employment” for young people.
It says the initiative draws on learning gathered over the course of a previous five-year programme, Reach Up, which targeted young people aged 16 to 25 who were not in education, employment or training (Neet) or at risk of becoming Neet.
Both programmes were designed to empower young people with the confidence, skills and experience necessary to feel ready for work as well as helping to break down barriers preventing them from accessing employment opportunities.
