Work experience programme
Voyage matches disadvantaged young people to paid work experience opportunities in a range of sectors to help them develop their skills, network and aspirations. These young people don't have the connections or know-how to find these places themselves while they hugely benefit from the experience. They are prepared for the placements through CV, interview and get-ready-for-work training. Placements are best suited for the summer months.
16 to 18 year olds from low socio-economic backgrounds.
Usually 60 young people per year.
In 2022 we reached 1736 young people (766 boys, 970 girls)
