There are two specific pathways to consider, as outlined below.
#1 Support Pathway: Stand Out - Employability Training & Mentoring
As you are aware, the Covid-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented and disproportionate impact on young people. Evidence suggests that this generation could face lifelong penalties as a result of the pandemic.
To support you and your young people during this difficult time, One Million Mentors has partnered with UpRising UK to launch Stand Out (backed by Youth Futures Foundation).
Stand Out will provide 400 young people across the UK with 4 weeks of FREE intensive employability training plus one year of 1:1 mentoring, to equip them with the knowledge, networks, skills and confidence they need to navigate these challenging times and to transition into work.
Start Date: 4 Oct 2021.
Eligibility: Young people aged 18-25 who are not in full time further education, or do not have employment secured.
Application & Selection Process:
1. Expressions of Interest are being collected now.
2. Submissions will then be contacted and receive an application form.
