For young people 

We are proud to offer activities and support designed especially for the young people living in our communities.

Employability skills for young people

We have a programme of support tailored specifically for anyone under 25 who is looking to get into work. You'll join one of our Careers Clubs and get one-to-one support with the skills you need.

If you are in receipt of benefits we will also refer you into the introduction to work programme with Jobcentre Peterborough. This is a four day programme of employability training and support that has the potential to lead to pre-apprentice job roles.
