Education, Employment and Training

We help young people overcome the barriers they face in accessing and sustaining education, employment and training.

We support young people to develop goals and a clear plan. Through our support, young people can develop core employability skills including confidence, well-being, timekeeping, teamwork, communication, self-belief and motivation.

If you’re a young person supported by 1625ip, we will help you work out which options are best for you. There are education opportunities, training courses, jobs, work experience, apprenticeships and volunteering opportunities for young people with all levels of experience. We can also help you to stay in education, employment or training if a little extra help is needed.

HERE'S HOW WE HELP

We offer maths and English courses at 1625ip, as well as supporting you into education such as college

If you want to get some training, we have links to local training providers and businesses in the local area that might be of interest

For employment, we can help you find opportunities, fill out application forms, and prepare for interviews

If you’re committed to finding work, education or training and need somewhere to live, we have some affordable housing to support people on low incomes

SEE WHAT OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE AVAILABLE

If you don’t feel quite ready to get into education, work or training we will help you build up your skills and confidence to get there.

See our calendar for ways to
get involved or find something to do.

Our engagement and learning team offer sessions that can help with things such as having belief in yourself, having a positive self-image, enjoying healthy relationships and learning how to cook healthy food. We offer courses such as First Aid and Tenancy Training through which you can get a certificate or a qualification which will help you in the future.

We could match you up with a mentor who would provide encouragement and guidance through a positive safe relationship. You would meet either virtually in person, normally every two weeks, for around 6+ months.

Our participation team offers you the chance to learn skills, run events and get experience. You can volunteer with us, or train as a Peer Supporter to help other young people. You can also get involved in helping to develop services.
