Youth employability through experiential enterprise
Description
The Platform Project operates as a 'training workplce' where young people aged 16-21 undertake developmental internships that help accellerate their transtion into work. They build up their CV's, confidence and work skills by running a range of real, trading youth enterprise projects (a youth magazine, a digital media agency, a printed goods business, and a self-employed project) and are then paired with a mentor for 1:1 support to take their next steps, including a brokered work experience secondment.
