One of the many ways we help young people explore employment avenues is to attend different employer engagement events!

Here are Kelly, one of our Employability Support Workers, and Craig, one of our young people, enjoying some well-deserved refreshments after attending the Edinburgh Fringe Youth Job Festival last week 🥤

Thanks to Cruden Homes for coming in to deliver a session to the young people in our Build You Up group!

📢 Bridges Project are looking for more young people to get involved in our Young Ambassador Activities!

This is an opportunity for young people to share their views, ideas and experiences and help shape things that matter to them 💪

There are different ways to get involved, including:
👥 Youth voice meetings
📝 Surveys
🗣️ Consultations
🤝 Opportunities to connect with other young people

Young people can choose to take part in some or all activities — whatever works for them. There’s no pressure to do everything!

Getting involved is a chance for young people to:
🗨️ Have their voices heard
💡 Share ideas and opinions
👋🏻 Meet new people
✨ Build confidence and experience
📃 Help influence future opportunities and decisions

If young people would like to hear about future opportunities, they can also choose to be added to our mailing list to receive updates about surveys, events, consultations and ways to get involved 📨

ℹ️ Open to young people aged 12-25 in East Lothian.

The young people participating in the Build You Up construction employability course have been busy developing their practical skills over the past few weeks!

Alan, one of our volunteers, gave the group an introduction to measuring and the young people had a go at putting their skills into practice by measuring the dimensions of our reception area 📏

The following week, they took it to the next level as they used the measurements to paint the reception area 🖌 This means we now have a nice combination of purple and orange welcoming everyone who visits our building 🟣🟠🤩

Well done, everyone 👊

Build You Up is delivered by our Spark Your Future programme, funded by East Lothian Council's Employability Grants Programme as part of The Scottish Government's No One Left Behind funding!

We're pleased to have launched a new work experience programme, the Bridges Pathway 🎉

Thr programme will match local employers up with work-ready young people for work experience placements and Bridges Project will support both parties throughout the process 🤝

We're confident that Bridges Pathways will be a win-win for both employers and young people and we hope many employers from across the Lothians will sign up to the programme!

Happy World Environment Day 🌍

We have marked the day by doing one of our litter picks, which we do once a week for a month every summer as part of our Climate Action Plan 🌱
