Project Jumpstart to Success (GLA’s UKSPF)

Description

The Jumpstart to Success project is a collaboration between the City of London Corporation’s Adult Skills and Education Service, a selection of London Local Authorities and up to 2 prospective additional partners. The project will mentor NEET young people aged between 16-24 years old. The project will focus on individually tailored support, building confidence, motivating and personal development, ultimately helping young Londoners into employment, education or training. The project aims to access YP through housing, social /youth offending services, children’s services, and central London Job Centres. This programme targets groups including those from ethnical backgrounds, NEET women and those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). YP will participate in activities which develop and strengthen their skills, such as coding sessions and hackathons to capitalise on the strengths of those with neurodiverse abilities. Mentors will guide YP on developing pre-employment, interpersonal and life skills and knowledge to move into employment via ‘good jobs’, self-employment and education or training.
