The aim of this project is to empower women, improve their skills and build their confidence and motivation to transition into the next stage of their careers or personal life. We aim to achieve the following outcomes: (i) 48 young women will be supported on the programme (12 per programme) (ii) 40 young women will report their life skills (confidence, motivation, behaviour, teamwork, communication) have improved as a result of the service (iii) 40 young women will have improved their employability and feel better prepared to progress into work (iv) 36 young women will progress into education, employment or training The target outcomes above are set by past programmes and performance. As we are engaging those furthest away from the job market and living in severe deprivation, we have purposely set realistic targets. Washwood Heath (where this programme will be delivered) falls in the Hodge Hill constituency which has the second lowest female employment rate in the city. We know that 87% of the Washwood Heath population are from BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) backgrounds. Birmingham City Council Women in the Labour Market 2016 report states that women from the Pakistani/Bangladeshi ethnicity are have the highest unemployment rates in the city. 74% of Pakistani males are economically active but only 34% of females are (national average 67%). This stark statistic shows the huge gap between males and females in the ethnic group that this project will target. This project will reverse the negative culture of young women and provide not only the support for unemployed young people to get back into employment or education, but also challenge and reverse the mindsets and life-skills of young people to create a positive future for themselves despite the difficult start and adversity they face in life.
