Support into work for vulnerable young adults

We can help you into work if you are aged 18 to 25 and not in education, employment or training, and are either:

• an Islington care leaver 
• have experience of the youth justice system 
• are not open to statutory services / known to voluntary or community sector services, and vulnerable to long-term unemployment
• have special educational need difficulties or disabilities.

The Youth Employability and Skills (YES) team are trauma-aware advisers and can offer up to a year of pre-employment support including help to:

• set realistic goals
• access world of work insights, tasters and placements
• get and stay employed.  

Referrals come from Independent Futures, Youth Justice Service, I-Can, Elevate, Pupil Services (SEND Team), ILPD, and voluntary sector services. If you want more information about the YES programme or a copy of our referral form, email YouthEmploymentTeam@islington.gov.uk.
