The programme benefits “Looked After” young people in/ leaving care and harnesses a model of supported employment developed within the disability sector. Young people don’t know how to access employment/ employers have unrealistic expectations. Users have structured training/ development with peer mentor support, and embark on appropriate supported employment with selected and trained employers. Monthly and annual support sessions will benefit young people. Monitoring will track progress, with learning cascaded to 500 SME employers. The revised proposal increases employer support.
