The Youth Employability Programme, run by Youthtown, aims to make it possible for all 14-24-year-olds to gain the insight, confidence and skills to get work, keep work and create careers.

The programme develops the seven key employability skills that employers say they feel are essential to make a successful start in the workforce and establish a career: positive attitude, willingness to learn, communication, thinking skills, teamwork, resilience and self-management.

The programme includes:

  • 18 - 20 hours of skill-building workshops
  • 10 - 20 hours of community service
  • 80 hours of work experience with a local business
  • Skills based assessment

Young people will graduate with a 'Licence to Work' certificate. This shows employers that they are work-ready.
