Building skills for the future

The programme focuses on four key areas, helping young people develop skills that will support them throughout their education, careers and everyday lives.

Learning through practical activities

Through interactive sessions, young people will have the chance to tackle real-world challenges, take part in practical activities and work alongside others to develop their skills.

These activities are designed to make learning engaging and enjoyable, giving young people the opportunity to put their ideas into practice, try something different and learn from each other.

Working with local businesses

An important part of Youth & Beyond is bringing education and local employers closer together.

Local businesses and professionals will contribute to workshops, share their experiences and help young people understand the different routes into employment, apprenticeships and further education.

This will also give businesses an opportunity to connect with the next generation of local talent and play an active role in supporting young people across the borough.
