Platform Café Employability Programme (360G-Walcot-0061E00001LcvjvQAB)

The Platform Cafe forms part of the Loughborough Junction Action Group (LJAG) a volunteer-led charity (Which also includes Grove Adventure Playground and Loughborough Junction Farm) and aims to make Loughborough Junicton a better place to live and work. The Café is well placed, recently refurbished and wishes to offer 10 unemployed Lambeth young people per year the chance to take up 6 months of work experience and training with them. Young people will gain skills and qualifications in hospitality and entrepreneurship, including food and specialist coffee prep, social media marketing and communications experience and event management. They will also work with local business partners at the newly established LJ Works (on the LJ Farm site) to offer further work experience and employment. Young people taking part will initially complete 1 half day a week on placement, with further training, volunteering and employment opportunities possible.6y
