We’re proud to share the impact of our latest project, tackling the lack of meaningful work experience for young people in Newcastle. By connecting students from three local secondary schools with a diverse range of employers, we’ve helped them build practical skills, boost their confidence, and explore exciting career paths.
✨ Who did we support?
Our initiative focused on making opportunities accessible for everyone, especially young people who face extra barriers, like those who are care-experienced, have SEND, or come from underrepresented backgrounds. This reflects Evry’s commitment to inclusion and equity.
🔗 What did we achieve?
- 104 new work experience placements created
- 91 placements successfully completed
- 11 partner organisations involved, showing the power of cross-sector collaboration
The project resulted in many meaningful and productive experiences for students. We’re grateful to everyone who made this possible!
