  • Support young persons to overcome barriers to employment including support for childcare issues, benefits issues, lack of confidence, and lack of information about job opportunities and available in-work benefits.
  • Work with partner organisations including training providers and job brokerage agencies to ensure individual pathways are supported by a full package of services and lead to the development of skills, motivation, and eventual employment.
