Communities, Learning & Development
Youth Work Employability offers personal development support for young people engaging in the keyworker service through the provision of targeted group work.
Youth workers work with young people to identify barriers they face and develop programmes of work that address these needs. Youth work provision is both structured and informal, offers opportunities for leisure and fun, and supports and celebrates achievement. Young people play a crucial role in building and evaluating the work.
