Employability

What comes next? Help us help you to get sorted

Unitas Youth Zone’s employability programme is instrumental in providing opportunities for young people to explore their future career pathways, allowing them to access the latest up to date information, advice and guidance. We also provide a space for each young person to brainstorm creatively their own unique approach to their individual needs and the necessary skillset to further develop them for the wider world of education, training, apprenticeship and employment.

We also hope to inspire each young person to recognise their individual and unique gifts, talents and passions, and to embrace them to the best of their ability with a ‘can do’ attitude and perspective.

Our Employability Coordinator Vernon Douglas is here to help and support any young person who wants to think through what comes next.

Who do we support?

We support all Seniors members (age 13 to 19, and up to 25 with additional needs).

How does it work?
