Talent Match - Embedding the voice and ideas of young people 021012

The Steering Group has been working with a small group of young people to develop the Big 5 questions; questions to help us share information provided by young people about what works and doesn’t work in relation to finding meaningful employment opportunities. The questions are:

  • what is stopping you from working?
  • what actually works in helping you find a job?
  • did school or college prepare you for work and how did they do this?
  • do you know what you want to do? Please let us know
  • do you know what you could do? Please let us know
  • do you have any other thoughts or ideas on how we could support young people into work?

The questions can be answered on line by following the following Survey Monkey link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/tpkmj2s

We have created a Facebook page www.facebook.com/TalentMatchD2n2 for young people to have their say and get involved with the Programme. Encourage young people you are in contact with to Like it and Like it yourself too!

More details about how we would like to engage young people and how groups can support them to participate can be found here.  A short summary of Talent Match targeted young people has also been developed, which can be found here.  Please circulate this with anyone you feel may be interested in being involved.
