Name Project 8
In July, Rathbone Training launched the Project 8 initiative as a pilot scheme in Greater Manchester, with the aim of helping young people who are not in education, employment or training (Neet) complete eight core training areas.
Over the course of the 12-week community-based project young people were presented with a number of challenges and given the chance to gain new skills, build their confidence and get work experience.
