Employment and Wellbeing support for Young People

Tender description

Young people’s employment prospects have been disproportionally impacted by Covid-19 and the measures to manage it. Between February - August 2021, we worked with the Design Council and The Winch to engage young people and system stakeholders in a series of working sessions and workshops which aimed to design a new approach to employment support for young people. This work was instigated in response to evidence of the impact of the early phases of the pandemic on young people’s employment prospects. Lot 1: The follow extracts from the co-design report provide further illustration of key support needs identified by young people. In developing the Employment and Wellbeing Support provision, the council intends to respond to identified needs, particularly: • Lack of appropriate work experience • Young people getting lost in transition between education, training and work • Whole person support through the process of seeking employment • Young people learning about their strengths, and building a portfolio of skills and experiences across jobs • Entrepreneurial and spotting new opportunities to earn and grow
