Our employability Academies, which typically are for 16-24 year olds and last around 12 weeks and run 3 times per year, provide an inclusive approach to helping young people find suitable work, training opportunities, apprenticeships, or further education. These programmes run from Monday to Thursday and include maths & English qualifications, employability workshops, sports and fitness activities, work experience events, site visits, one-to-one mentoring, and much more. If you want to gain valuable skills and qualifications and even get work experience opportunities with one of our employer partners, this is for you. It's about your goals - we work with you to find the right opportunity and empower you to own your future. Attendance is free and everyone is welcome.

We are contacted regularly by businesses who are looking to support local groups either through volunteering, or providing their expertise. This is usually part of their corporate social responsibility commitments
