The banking group says its new programme, CareerSense Find Your Path, an extended version of its existing employability scheme, specifically targets 16-to 24-year-olds that have found themselves out of education or the workplace.

The first cohorts will join the four-month programme in Inverclyde, Manchester and London in conjunction with its regional partners.

These include Glasgow-based Tigers Limited Training Initiative, HideOut Youth Zone in Manchester and Inspire in London.

NatWest said Liverpool-based Career Connect was expected to support the programme from 2022.

Participants will be offered peer to peer mentoring, a one-month period of paid work experience and skills development support from the banking group.
