Work experience in grounds maintenance around Mayfield Pond & the Cre8 Community Building
Cre8 JOBS is about giving young people supported employment experience to improve employability and get them ready for the world of work.
Other businesses would naturally employ those young people who are most able to fill in application forms, make appointments, turn up for work, manage their time and behave well. However, Cre8 JOBS supported and employed those young people who were least able to do this, and helped them to improve their employability.
There are many schemes that train young people for work, help them write CVs and practice interview skills, but few actually offer supported employment experience. We wanted to work with the hardest to reach young people who are very difficult to recruit, train, and employ.
