Specialist Provider: Education, Training and Employment
In recognition of the critical importance of education and employment in preventing further involvement in violence and crime, the VRN has commissioned a specialist service to provide advice and support preparation for and access to education, training and employment.
​
This service is for under 25 year olds and is closely aligned to our other interventions and referral is usually through these partners. Participants meet with a specialist advisor who will work with young people to understand their needs and interests, and to build their confidence and capability to enable them to access a wide range of opportunities.
Young people are provided with employability support services including CV building, career talks, mock interviews, support with job applications and mentoring sessions (including from business members), and access to education or training courses, work placements and community-based work experience where appropriate.​
The current delivery partner is Leicestershire Cares.
