Prospex Works
Prospex Works aims to support and encourage Young People who are not in any form of education or employment, to gain the confidence to better themselves by developing the necessary skills and experience to find the direction and career they want to follow.
The majority of the young people we work with have few or no qualifications so this is a vital stage in giving them a true taste of work and showing them that they have something to offer.
There are three streams to this project; the Placement Scheme, Prospex Works Lifeskills and Job Club.

The exciting news for this month is that Maxine has just secured a work placement scheme at the Crowne Plaza, EC4. This will give a Young Person who is interested in becoming a Chef the opportunity to get first hand experience working in an extremely busy kitchen environment. Our first Young Person started 22nd January on an eight week placement; this has endless possibilities for any Young Person showing the right skills and attitude. Prospex would like to thank Graham Digweed and the Crowne Plaza team for all their help and support in providing this placement.
This now brings our total placements to 5 and includes: ICSL Accord, H.F.I (homes for Islington) Acur Scaffolding and Flower Day Florists.
Maxine is continuing to grow this work-stream and she will update you in future issues of our newsletter.
If anyone can assist in providing a work- placement for a Young Person please contact Maxine.
