Sandwell Youth Hub

Sandwell Youth Hub works with young people aged 18-24, who are referred by the Job Centre.

In partnership with DWP Work coaches, YMCA mentors within Youth Hubs have a primary focus of addressing key barriers that are currently preventing young people from finding and keeping employment, which may include:

improving resilience, confidence and employability skills
support accessing volunteering, work experience or apprenticeships
accessing training and further education opportunities
improving mental health and wellbeing
understanding opportunities available in the local area

The ultimate goal of our Youth Hub is to help clients develop their full potential and secure a job they love. The Youth Hub will compliment and collaborate with existing services providing work readiness in the following areas:

CV writing techniques
Interview techniques
Job application support
Universal credit awareness
Signposting to literacy, numeracy and IT
