: Personal barrier & Employability support

Our flagship Talk mentoring initiative has supported hundreds of young people across Nottinghamshire to overcome personal barriers through a person-centred 10 step plan. We currently offer two different strands of trauma-informed youth mentoring; a 13-week employability programme in partnership with the DWP and community mentoring through the Youth Guarantee to support those furthest from the labour market.

Each year we support young people referred from the local job centre to pursue their career goals and overcome personal barriers to progression. Our 13 week programme coordinates with an onsite DWP work coach to offer more in-depth appointments that build young people’s employability skills for the work place.

> What to expect

Community mentoring provides support for NEET young people who are participating in the Youth Guarantee or Jobs Guarantee schemes. Through these sessions we help young people address complex barriers, such as mental health, housing, addiction, and establish a strong circle of support in readiness for their next steps.
