Our young people deserve the same opportunities as their peers. But they need some extra help. Some may not realise their potential or even know what they want their future to look like. They can’t see how to get from where they are now to where they want to be. Others will have their future mapped but need support and resources to help make their ideas a reality, support that’s designed specifically with their needs in mind and goes at their pace. That’s where we at the Cornerstones Foundation come in. We have developed our ‘World of Work’ programme which looks to help young people determine their future career and put in place the stepping stones to help them get there. Our programme will identify a wide range of apprenticeships, work placements and further education across an extensive range of employment. We will work with partners to match a young person’s career ambition with a work or learning opportunity and then, through work-based mentors, support them every step of the way.
