Showcasing The Youth and Business Engagement Project in Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough
The Youth and Business Engagement project aims to link local young people, new to the employment market, with a paid placement at a local business. This will provide much needed experience for the young person to support their CV, give them an insight into the world of work and help inspire them to develop. The business will benefit from an enthusiastic young person to assist with your business development and growth. There is no requirement to retain the young person, but you never know, they may be just the fit for your organisation!
We are flexible and open to negotiation in relation to placement length and we will aim to find the right young person for you and your business needs. We have some interesting incentives and an open approach, so complete the form and let's get the ball rolling!
Ideally, we would look for a three month paid placement, and we will provide support to assist wherever necessary. The placed person will also have access to additional support from local support networks and charities. This will be pitched to candidates as an actual period of employment and the person should be treated in all aspects as a new member of your team.
On 7th November 2022 teams from Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council hosted an event designed to showcase the project and it's offering to local businesses and encourage business leaders to apply for the scheme! The event took place at Saints in Nuneaton town centre and proved to be a success.
