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.

Jay is doing extremely well in his work placement at the Crowne Plaza hotel. Michele, the chef who has taken on the training of Jay, says that Jay is a fast learner, he knows his way around the many kitchens and store rooms in the hotel, he has helped to create a menu, and in this fast moving kitchen he can step up the pace if the need arises. He has had only one day off in the time he has been here, Jay says he loves working there and would love to go into an N.V.Q training course after the placement to further his skills and knowledge in this area. So far this has been a positive experience for Jay and we hope it will continue until the end of the placement. We would like to thank Michele for all her hard work.
Our current Companies are: Enterprise Islington (the new name for ICSL Accord), H.F.I (homes for Islington) Crowne Plaza, Acur Scaffolding and Flower Day Florists.
If anyone can assist in providing a work- placement for a Young Person please contact Maxine. It costs £450 per 6 week Work-Placement. Can you help support a Young Person?
