PROJECT
Protected Work Experience
FUNDING
The programme was funded by a community grant from Walton on Thames Charity. The three-year project cost £10,816, with just under £5,000 paid to trainees and just over £6,000 to employers
BACKGROUND
Feedback from vulnerable young people engaged with Elmbridge Youth Support Service identified a need for more flexible work experience opportunities to bridge the gap between traditional two-week stints with fairly minimal input and lengthier traineeships and apprenticeships which come with more support but have entry requirements. The service went on to develop its Protected Work Experience scheme with 14 young people taking part in the project between 2014 and 2017.
