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.

Due to lack of funding no work-placements have been filled this month and we currently only have funding to place one more young person through a four week placement.
Each placement involves a 6 – 8 week work experience programme in one of a number of workplaces, and costs £450. Can you or an organisation you may know help to fund a young person for a work placement, or indeed could you offer a work placement and also cover the young persons costs and expenses?
The end of current funding seems a convenient time to review and overhaul this work stream and we plan to do this now and then, hopefully, to re-launch Prospex Works in the New Year with, hopefully, new secured funding and a new direction. Watch this space in early 2009.
