Yesterday, our team had the privilege of standing alongside students from Saint Gabriel's College - London on their GCSE Results Day. It was an inspiring day filled with emotions, from joy and relief to determination and reflection. We were there to offer support, advice, and guidance to those who wanted it and a few words of encouragement to those who needed it. 💬💪 We want to celebrate the hard work and dedication that both students and teachers have put in to reach this milestone. Your perseverance, resilience, and commitment are truly commendable! 🌟👏 To those who didn’t quite get the results they were hoping for - remember, this is just one step in your journey. There are countless paths to success, and we’re here to help you find yours. 🌱 #GCSEResults #YoungPeople #YouthEmpowerpent #CareerGuidance #FutureSuccess #Resilience #InvestInTheFuture

🤩 We're super excited about our upcoming Careers Fair in August. 💙 Last year, in partnership with LDN Apprenticeships, we collaborated with 10 different organisations to showcase the amazing apprenticeship opportunities available to young people and young adults in south London. 🤝 We saw over 100 people throughout the afternoon and challenged young attendees to network and make connections with peers as well as employers. This summer, we're going again and raising awareness about jobs and training, as well as apprenticeships! 💼 If you're an organisation with live vacancies and you're looking for access to fantastic young talent, sign up to exhibit at our fair for free - only a few spaces left! https://lnkd.in/ej3hnFQe #youthemployment #youngpeople #careers #opportunities #youngtalent #collaboration #investinthefuture

🎤 We asked one of our young people, Sarah-Louise, why she likes to come to our space and this is what she had to say: 🔐 It's private - which allows her to feel at ease and not judged. 🏠 It's close to home - which eliminates financial stress. 🤗 It's welcoming - which encourages her to come back. Having support services that young people can easily access - and enjoy accessing - is crucial to their active engagement. But why is this important? Because the more they engage, the more likely they are to have positive outcomes. 🤝 Support the work we do with young people like Sarah-Louise by becoming a partner.
