Reaching Higher: Employability Programme for Care Experienced Young People (360G-CR-1168592)

Funding Organization
£399,237

Who Cares? Scotland (WC?S) in partnership with Move On and Venture Trust wish to deliver a bespoke training and employability programme, specifically designed around the needs of care experienced young people (CEYP). This project will provide intensive pre-employment support to 40 CEYP and 24 new paid supported traineeships, in addition to the 16 currently available at WC?S. All trainees will receive peer-led mentoring for a minimum of 1 year. Ultimately it is hoped that 80% of the trainees will move on to and sustain a positive destination. The grant will fund an employment coordinator and contribute to the costs of an HR Manager and Evaluation Officer and sessional youth staff, plus programme costs.
