Youth Work: Project to get the young into work

1 min read Education Youth Work
Youth organisation JusB has launched an intensive 12-week pilot project to help young people who are not in education, employment or training.

The project kicked off on Monday (10 September) and aims to help young people aged between 16 and 19 in Bromley, south east London, to find work or education.

Rachel Archer, chief executive of JusB, said the project would involve a mentor working with five young people to give them support and guidance. "We piloted a music project which was popular and gave young people skills and confidence, but it didn't follow that they got jobs or training," she said.

"This project will involve the mentor going through job adverts with them being there when they call potential employers and providing support throughout."
