Through UK Youth’s Building Connections scheme - backed by Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) - projects in six areas of England will receive funding to help those most in need of employability support.
Building Connections was established in 2022 in Sussex, Manchester and Leicestershire, with the majority of young people taking part in the project classed as Neet or at risk of becoming so.
Under the scheme, youth workers receive training on how to work with businesses to identify employment opportunities for young people.
Volunteers from CCEP also provide mentoring in line with its 2030 commitment to support 500,000 people who face barriers in the labour market by developing their skills and confidence.
