Summer Jobs Programme

Creating opportunities, building confidence and gaining real-world experience.

Our Summer Jobs Programme provides young people across the North East with the opportunity to experience paid employment, develop valuable workplace skills and take their first steps towards future careers.

Through partnerships with local employers, we support young people into meaningful summer employment opportunities, helping them gain practical experience, build confidence and develop a greater understanding of the world of work.

What Does the Programme Involve?

The programme connects young people with employers offering paid summer placements across a range of industries and sectors.

Alongside their employment experience, young people benefit from guidance and support to help them prepare for the workplace, develop essential employability skills and make the most of their opportunity.

Making a Difference

For many young people, accessing their first employment opportunity can be challenging. Our programme helps remove barriers by creating opportunities to earn, learn and gain experience in a supportive environment.

By participating, young people can:

  • Gain valuable paid work experience.
  • Develop communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills.
  • Build confidence, independence and financial awareness.
  • Explore career interests and future employment pathways.
  • Strengthen their CV and improve future employment prospects.

Our Aim

To give young people the opportunity to experience meaningful employment, develop aspirations and build the skills and confidence needed for their future.
